Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi Faces Certification Delays, Possible 2027 Release

Analysed 15 Sept 2026·4 sources analysed·China·Entertainment
Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi Faces Certification Delays, Possible 2027 ReleasePreviousNext

Salman Khan's war drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace remains uncertified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) due to concerns related to its depiction of China and the 2020 India-China conflict. Despite earlier reports of an imminent screening, the film has not yet been submitted for certification. The makers are engaging with government officials to resolve issues, with a 2026 release possible if cleared soon, though delays could push the release to 2027 amid limited theatrical slots.
