Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh’s upcoming film Maatrubhumi, previously titled Battle Of Galwan, is back in the news, just days after making headlines for its title change. This time, the speculation is over a possible delay following the passing of actor-singer Prashant Tamang, who played a significant role in the project.

According to an India Today report, the film was initially expected to hit theatres in early April. However, plans were reportedly disrupted after Prashant’s death in January this year. A source told them, “The team had a couple of planned schedules where Prashant had to shoot some really key scenes. With him gone, the team is absolutely in crisis.”

Director Apoorva Lakhia was unavailable for comment when we reached out. However, a member of the team dismissed the rumours, saying, “Please don’t believe the chatter doing the rounds. This is not true.”

We also learn that the film’s team has been instructed to remain tight-lipped about further developments. The story will revolve around the 2020 clashes between India and China.
