Even if they are resolved soon, it will now be difficult to secure a good release slot, as most major dates have already been taken. In our industry, it is common for actors and filmmakers to take over a date that has already been claimed by another film. But Salman Khan is an exception. He is very fair and doesn’t believe in clashing with another film unnecessarily. Even if he decides to clash, he will inform the other party before making an announcement.”The source further said, “If the issues are not resolved soon, Maatrubhumi will be pushed to next year. This would mean that Salman Khan could have two releases in 2027. The star is currently shooting for Vamshi Paidipally’s untitled film, co-starring Nayanthara, which is also expected to arrive in cinemas next year.”Salman Khan Flaunts Biceps In 'Maatrubhumi' Post; Fans Ask For Movie's Release Date UpdateTill now, there has been no confirmation from the makers about the film getting postponed.Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi PostMeanwhile, a few days ago, Salman shared a couple of pictures and, in the caption, wrote, "Maatrubhumi."
