Salman Khan’s much-awaited film Maatrubhumi is reportedly undergoing major changes, with fresh developments suggesting that key elements of the story have been altered following concerns raised by the Ministry of Defence.
Originally titled Battle of Galwan, the film is inspired by the 2020 India-China clash in Ladakh. However, recent reports indicate that the makers have been asked to avoid directly referencing China in the narrative, given the sensitive geopolitical context and improving diplomatic relations between the two nations.
