We’re on duty and have to leave in 10 minutes. At the trailer launch on November 6, Salman addressed speculation that the government had asked the makers to change or rewrite the film’s script. The film, earlier titled Battle of Galwan , has been surrounded by speculation about its storyline and reported changes amid the improving relationship between India and China.
After entire day’s wait, Salman Khan dropped the trailer which shows him leading the charge as tensions between Indian and Chinese troops escalate. Amid the action, one exchange towards the end has already caught attention. The trailer also captures the emotional cost of leaving home.

The promo also questions the people who make decisions about war without facing its consequences. It has to come eventually. The trailer closes with its central message: “Humanity and patriotism aren’t about wiping out the enemy. They are about wiping out the enmity. Facing a soldier from China, Salman signs off with, “Let’s sort this s**t, bro. Peace out. It was initially scheduled to release in April, but questions about its narrative have continued to follow the project. Clarifying the film’s subject, he added, “We’ve made a film about soldiers and what they and their families go through.

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace stars Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh. The film is produced by Salma Khan, with music by Himesh Reshammiya.

Dismissing the reports, he said, “This whole narrative that we are going against China and that the government pressured us to change or rewrite the script is all nonsense. There are no negative forces…” he said.
