Salman Khan’s forthcoming war film Maatrubhumi has gone through some changes in a short span of time. This includes extensive reshoots and a title change. It was earlier titled Battle of Galwan, as the film chronicles the standoff between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley that took place in 2020. Let’s examine if the changes will hurt the film or not.
Salman Khan’s Film Underwent A Title Change
Battle of Galwan chronicles the 2020 Indo-China clash in the Galwan Valley. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and stars Salman Khan as Colonel B. Santosh Babu. As per NDTV, the character is based on a real Army officer who was martyred during the clash. However, fans got to know in March this year that the film is now called Maatrubhumi—May War Rest in Peace.
Besides the title change, the film was also postponed from its original April 17 release date. It will now be released in August. These are merely peripheral changes. A Hindustan Times report suggests the film was extensively reshot and that the makers also removed any references to China.
