Maatrubhumi is being produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films, under the direction of veteran filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia. He has in the past been responsible for creating a series of critical hits, including Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007) and Crackdown (2020). Aside from those, he has also assisted as a director for the film Lagaan (2001) while serving as a writer for Ek Ajnabee (2005), among others.
Taking inspiration from the military confrontation between the Indian and Chinese troops on June 15, 2020, in the Galwan Valley, the movie will feature Salman Khan leading, playing the role of Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu (commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment), who was responsible for leading a team of merely 200 Indian soldiers for a standoff against a sea of Chinese troops.
The narrative of Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace follows the inspiring and courageous story of the colonel who voluntarily makes the decision to head to the front lines where he could bring about peace talks. This is, however, not taken kindly to by the Chinese troops, quickly escalating into a brawl situation.
Sidetracking from the core agenda of the film, it also takes a step away from the war and explores deeper emotional conflicts caused by war and the sacrifices and struggles faced by the soldiers and their families alike.
Looking at the talented cast bringing the story to life, we will see Chitrangada Singh portraying Salman Khan’s character’s wife and others such as Mukesh Rishi, Tenzin Bodh, and Ankur Bhatia, among others. The Himesh Reshammiya musical is joined by other talented musicians, including Meet Bros, Sajid Khan, Shamir Tandon, and Ayaan Lall, who will echo the patriotic beats, sending chills up our spines.
