Salman Khan, never far from the limelight, has kept fans buzzing with anticipation for his ambitious war drama, 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace'. However, as per sources, the film’s release has hit a major roadblock. The buzz suggests that concerns raised at the government level—especially with Indo-China ties reportedly on the mend—have left the project in a state of limbo.

Industry grapevine has it that the film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, might not see theatres until 2027. Even if the content issues are ironed out, insiders say the release calendar for the next year or two is already overflowing with big-ticket films, making it tough for 'Maatrubhumi' to find a slot. Dussehra was eyed as an ideal window, but there’s no clear confirmation if the film can make the cut this festive season.

Adding to the intrigue, Chitrangda Singh joins Salman in a pivotal role, while Salman is set to portray the valorous Colonel Santosh Babu. For fans hoping to see Salman in a new avatar soon, it seems the wait could get much longer. All eyes are now on how the makers navigate these challenging currents.
