Salman Khan is set to hit the big screen again, with his upcoming film Maatrubhumi.
The Sikandar star’s film, previously titled Battle of Galwan, was set for April 17 but was delayed for extra shoots and renamed Maatrubhumi.
While some footage has been released, the release date remained unconfirmed—though Bollywood Hungama reports May 15 is under consideration.
A source told the outlet, “The additional shoot is done and the film will be ready soon. Hence, the makers feel that it's better to bring out the film sooner rather than later. They are looking at several options and are seriously considering May 15.”
Previously, an insider mentioned, the war drama is expected to release between July to October.
The source stated, “That is also being considered, though most of the slots have been taken up by big-scale and significant films in that period. At one point, they wanted to get the film out on Independence Day, but that won’t be possible as Aamir Khan has taken the slot for the Sunny Deol-starrer Lahore 1947. The current plan is to ascertain if releasing Maatrubhumi on May 15 is possible. If not, they’ll bring it later.”
The tipster further added, “Salman and the other stakeholders are expected to take the decision soon. They are aware that theirs is probably the only biggie of 2026 which doesn’t have a release date. Salman is grateful to see his fans showing their excitement for Maatrubhumi, and he’s expected to make an official announcement soon.”
At the same time, Salman Khan and the team are set to confirm the film’s distribution partner for Maatrubhumi in the coming days.
