Salman Khan unveiled the trailer of Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace today. At the trailer launch, the actor addressed reports suggesting that the film had faced delays with the censor board over concerns surrounding its portrayal of India-China relations.
The film was initially titled Battle of Galwan. Speaking at the event, Salman clarified that the makers had worked on a new version of the film and dismissed reports claiming that the script had been rewritten under government pressure.

“Rewrite karo, ye sab bakwaas hai. It’s not true at all. Humne picture banayi hai in soldiers ke upar – what they go through and what their families go through – vo side or ye side – dono sides. Toh isme koi negativity nahi hai. Bas halaat hain negative hain (Rewrite it? All this is nonsense. It’s not true at all. We have made a film about these soldiers, what they go through and what their families go through, on both sides. So, there is no negativity in it. It is just that the circumstances are negative),” he said.

He further spoke about how soldiers on both sides put their respective nations first, even when they share a bond with one another. “How for these soldiers… the nation comes first. They like each other, but when vo jab bhi situation ata hai, then the nation comes first. Both sides are trying to solve this. Humare director sahab ka ek pehle ka version tha (For these soldiers, the nation comes first. They may like each other, but whenever such a situation arises, the nation comes first. Both sides are trying to resolve this. Our director had an earlier version),” he added.

Addressing the change in the film’s title, Salman revealed that Maatrubhumi was eventually chosen from a song composed by Himesh Reshammiya. “Vo jo clap hota hai, clap pe aise hi daal diya tha humne. Hume pata tha ki vo title hume chahiye nahi, aur phir vo title humko humare gaane se hi mila – Maatrubhumi – that’s Himesh’s song. Thank you, Himesh. (We had just put that clap in casually. We knew we didn’t want that title, and eventually, we found the title in our own song),” he said.
