Salman Khan’s war drama ‘Maatrubhumi’ is still in post-production and has not yet had its final cut submitted for Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) review, according to reports cited by Free Press Journal and NDTV. One report says the filmmakers are incorporating changes and have not yet locked the final version, with the film expected to be sent to the CBFC only after the remaining edits are completed.

Other outlets report that the CBFC is likely to view the film this week, which would allow the makers to move toward a release-date announcement. Times of India and Free Press Journal both indicate a festive release window is being considered, with Diwali or Christmas cited as possible dates, depending on certification. The project is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and stars Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh, and it is associated with events from 2020. There are also references to the film’s earlier working title ‘Battle of Galwan’ and earlier speculation around changes after concerns about its content, though one source denies that the government halted the film.

Overall, the main differences across outlets center on the timing of final-cut submission versus the timing of the CBFC’s scheduled viewing, while the broader expectation remains that certification will shape when the film reaches cinemas.
