After dividing fans with his cryptic post, Salman Khan's most controversial film, Maatrubhumi, is set to release in theatres.
The makers of the movie have unveiled a new poster on Tuesday, July 21st, amid reports of its release delay.
However, as the new poster gained momentum on the internet, it sparked controversy; many fans mentioned the new poster excludes the name of director Apoorva Lakhia.
Instead of the director's name, it carries the line, A Film By Salman Khan Films.
The update came amid reports that suggested the film's release was delayed over concerns regarding certain portions of the project, including references to China.
Notably, the upcoming film was earlier announced as Battle of Galwan before being retitled Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace.
It is inspired by the June 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control.
