Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi Still Awaits CBFC Screening Amid Ongoing Delays

Salman Khan’s war drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace remains in limbo, with no progress on its Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) screening as of mid-September 2026. The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and featuring Chitrangada Singh alongside Khan, has faced persistent delays for several months, frustrating fans who have been eagerly awaiting its release.

Salman Khan, whose recent projects have kept him in the spotlight, now finds his latest venture stalled by regulatory challenges. Despite a surge of social media speculation suggesting that Maatrubhumi would soon be submitted for certification, a source close to the production clarified that no such development has occurred. The film has not yet been presented to the CBFC, contradicting earlier online reports that hinted at imminent progress.

Produced under the Salman Khan Films banner, Maatrubhumi has been the subject of intense discussion due to its sensitive subject matter and reported connections to China. According to the latest updates, this China angle remains a significant obstacle, with no confirmation that the necessary clearances have been obtained to proceed with the certification process.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the film’s release was uncertain, with some suggesting it could be pushed to 2027 due to government concerns over its content and the broader context of India-China relations. Despite the mounting anticipation and online chatter, the makers have yet to announce a firm theatrical release date. For now, the fate of Maatrubhumi continues to hang in the balance as the team awaits regulatory clearance.
