Rumors surrounding Salman Khan's upcoming war drama Maatrubhumi May War Rest In Peace have been making waves across social media, with several reports claiming that the film had run into certification issues with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, Salman Khan Films has now officially dismissed these claims, urging fans and media outlets not to believe unverified reports.
The production house issued a statement through its official social media handles, clarifying that the film has not yet been submitted to the CBFC for certification. As a result, any speculation suggesting that the movie's certification has been delayed or put on hold is completely false. The banner also requested everyone to rely only on official announcements regarding the film's progress.
The official statement read, "Any claims suggesting that Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace has encountered issues with the CBFC or that its certification has been put on hold are false. The film has not yet been submitted to the CBFC for certification. Therefore, such reports are entirely baseless. We request that media outlets and individuals refrain from circulating unverified information. Any official updates regarding the film will be shared by Salman Khan Films through its official channels only. SKF."
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi May War Rest In Peace is among the most anticipated Bollywood releases of the year. The film stars Salman Khan as Colonel Santosh Babu and is inspired by the events of the Galwan Valley clash. The project was initially announced as Battle of Galwan before being renamed to better reflect its themes of sacrifice, courage, and humanity during times of conflict.
The film's journey has already generated significant interest. It was originally expected to arrive in theatres in April, but the makers reportedly opted for extensive reshoots to refine certain sensitive portions of the story. While the revised schedule delayed the release, it also sparked several rumors about the film's status, including the now-debunked certification speculation.
Reports now suggest that the makers are eyeing an August release, although an official release date is yet to be announced. Meanwhile, fans continue to debate whether the film should enjoy a grand theatrical release or arrive on a streaming platform. Regardless of the release strategy, excitement remains high as audiences eagerly await Salman Khan's portrayal of one of India's celebrated military heroes.
For now, the message from Salman Khan Films is clear: there are no certification issues surrounding Maatrubhumi May War Rest In Peace, and any official updates will come directly from the production house.
