Director Apoorva Lakhia has reacted to the title change of Salman Khan’s upcoming war film. Originally titled Battle of Galwan, the project is now called Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, reflecting a broader emotional and patriotic message.
The Battle of Galwan teaser has sparked controversy with Chinese state‑run media criticising its portrayal of the 2020 clash, but experts say the film won’t be affected.
Salman Khan is ready to start the Mumbai part of the Battle of Galwan after completing the shoot in Ladakh. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and inspired by the 2020 border clash, the movie intends to combine raw, mountainous actions with urban storytelling in its next phase.
