The trailer of Salman Khan’s upcoming film, Maatrubhumi was unveiled by the actor on Tuesday evening (November 10, 2026). The much-delayed film will be released in theatres on December 4, the makers announced.
The trailer offers a glimpse into the war actioner, which is inspired by the military standoff in eastern Ladakh in May 2020 where twenty Indian Army personnel laid down their lives. Salman plays a soldier of the Indian army, who is tasked with stopping the movement of Chinese troops on the border. Interactions among the Chinese army are shown followed by some action sequences where armies from both the countries clash without using any weapons.
“When will this fighting stop?”, a soldier asks Salman’s character to which he replies, “It will end when those who call for war join us on the battlefield.” Further action-heavy sequences follow where Salman is seen engaged in intense fist fights with the Chinese soldiers. The trailer ends with him reaching out to a Chinese soldier to help him. “Humanity and patriotism is not in ending the enemy, it is in ending the enmity,” Salman says.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia (known for Shootout at Lokhandwala), Maatrubhumi also stars Chitrangada Singh in a pivotal role. It features music by Himesh Reshammiya, Meet Bros, Sajid Khan, Shamir Tandon and Ayaan Lall.
The film was earlier titled Battle of Galwan and the makers were reportedly asked to change the title to avoid dealing with the sensitive Indo-China conflict. Due to this, the film faced multiple delays after it was announced last year.
Releasing on December 4, the film will now clash with Shraddha Kapoor’s musical biopic, Eetha, helmed by Chhaava director Laxman Utekar.
