Salman Khan and Apoorva Lakhia collaborated on the war action drama titled Battle of Galwan, based on the Galwan Valley clash between India and China. However, the film’s content underwent significant changes after the Ministry of Defence reportedly requested Salman and team to go fictional with the film with reshoots. It is said that the officials didn’t want to affect the relations between India and China.
As per Bollywood Hungama, Salman respected their decision and instantly reshot around 40 per cent of the film, adding more romance and a backstory to his character. Even the title was changed to Maatrubhumi from Battle of Galwan. However, it is said that the newer cut too is facing issues, and the film won’t release as rumoured before in May.
The war drama could now be released in June, subject to the required approvals as per the report. This makes sense since the latest promotional assets of the film didn’t carry the new release date. Fans are pessimistic about the film’s output and reception. Let’s see if Salman can weave his magic and deliver a surprise hit. Chitrangadha Singh plays the female lead.
