'Same Qualities Hain': Salman Khan Compares Maatrubhumi Character To Lord Ram When Asked If Ramayana Will Affect His Film? - VIDEO

At the trailer launch of Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, Salman Khan was questioned about the buzz surrounding Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana potentially impacting his film. The actor drew a comparison between Lord Ram's qualities and those of his character in Maatrubhumi, asserting that the two share similar virtues. Salman emphasized Lord Ram's attributes as an ideal husband, son, father, warrior, and brother.

He then stated that his character in Maatrubhumi also possesses these same qualities. The actor further explained that his role in the film revolves around an Army officer inspired by Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, a brave Indian soldier who led troops during the June 2020 Galwan Valley clash with Chinese forces. Santosh Babu posthumously received the Maha Vir Chakra for his valor.

The movie primarily focuses on his leadership, courage, and sacrifice during the confrontation, along with the emotional toll of war. Salman announced the film's revised release date, clarifying that the initial 45-50 day shoot schedule extended due to the team's desire to ensure the VFX met audience expectations and were flawless.
