SKF Addresses CBFC Rumors
Fans are excited to see Salman Khan back on the big screen in filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia’s Maatrubhumi : May War Rest in Peace. However, reports recently surfaced claiming that the film had landed in trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), was facing certification issues, and that its certification had been put on hold. However, the official Instagram handle of Salman Khan’s production house, Salman Khan Films (SKF), has now cleared the air on the matter.
The reports had claimed that Salman Khan’s film had reportedly been withheld by the CBFC, thwarting the makers’ plans to release the film in August. However, the makers have now officially set the record straight and dismissed all such rumours.
Maatrubhumi’s Certification Status
Earlier, while speaking about the title change, Apoorva Lakhia had said, “Changing the title may feel sudden to SK sir’s fans, but it was never an overnight decision. From the start, we had registered two titles: Battle Of Galwan and Maatrubhumi. As we went through the journey of making our film, we realised it was never just about a battle. At its heart, the film is about humanity, empathy, and the silent battles our soldiers fight.”
Director Apoorva Lakhia on Title Change
He added, “Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace captures that emotion and sacrifice far more truthfully. It reflects the soul of the story, preserving humanity even in the face of conflict. There’s also a song in the film by the same name, and the love it has received from audiences made the title feel even more right.”
SKF’s clear statement puts an end to speculative reports surrounding ‘Maatrubhumi’s CBFC status. Fans can now anticipate further updates on the film’s release without concerns about premature certification hurdles.
