Salman Khan REACTS To Backlash Over Maatrubhumi's Teri Sexy Beauty Song: 'Har Army Ka Naujawan Sandese Aate Hai Toh Nahi Gaayega Na?' - VIDEO

Bollywood star Salman Khan firmly denied media reports alleging that his forthcoming film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace experienced reshoots and faced government-related obstacles during a trailer launch in Mumbai on Friday (November 6). The actor firmly stated that the rumours were entirely false. When questioned about the reported setbacks, Salman dismissed them as "bakwas."

He clarified that the movie centers on the experiences of Indian soldiers and the hardships their families endure, rather than depicting any antagonistic elements. At the event, Salman told reporters, "Bakwas hai. It ain't true at all. We've made a picture about the soldiers, what they go through, what their families go through.

There are no negative forces in it. Only negative circumstances exist." This response followed Maatrubhumi, initially named Battle of Galwan, allegedly experiencing multiple release delays. Several sources claimed the film's narrative and depiction of the India-China conflict were reasons for the schedule changes. The film is reportedly inspired by the June 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley, causing concern over its references to China and diplomatic tensions.

Moreover, there were reports of clearance issues with the Ministry of Defence and the film's certification by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Speculation about reshoots and delays in obtaining final CBFC approval had also fueled concerns about the movie's release. The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, features Salman Khan as Colonel Santosh Babu, alongside Chitrangda Singh, Abhilash Chaudhary, and Ankur Bhatia.

Set for theatrical release on December 4, the movie's production timeline had undergone several adjustments before the new release date.
