The makers of Salman Khan’s film ‘Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace’ released the official trailer on November 10, providing a preview of a war drama inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
In the trailer, Salman Khan appears as Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, who commanded the 16 Bihar Regiment during the conflict. Dressed in Army uniform, he leads his troops through tense border confrontations, engaging in action sequences and hand-to-hand combat.
The film explores not only the scenes of warfare but also the emotional impact on soldiers and their families, portraying the sacrifices and uncertainties they face. It also highlights how war affects people on both sides, causing loss, separation, and lasting pain beyond the battlefield.
Salman Khan’s portrayal of the Army officer is complemented by his on-screen chemistry with Chitrangda Singh, who plays a key role in the narrative.
Produced by Salma Khan under the Salman Khan Films banner, ‘Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace’ is directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The film was previously titled ‘Battle of Galwan’ before being renamed. It is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
Originally scheduled for release in April 2026, the film was postponed and is now set to premiere on December 4.
