Salman Khan’s highly anticipated film Maatrubhumi appears to be inching closer to its theatrical release. After months of speculation surrounding the film’s delayed launch and certification process, new reports suggest that the Apoorva Lakhia-directed project is set to be screened by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) this week.
The update comes amid reports that the makers have been finalising the film’s post-production work. While an official release date has not yet been announced, the upcoming CBFC screening could offer more clarity on when the film will finally hit theatres.
Certification Process Marks Key Milestone
According to reports, Maatrubhumi is expected to be presented before the CBFC this week, marking an important step for a project that has been in the making for several months. The film was originally slated for an April release but failed to arrive in cinemas as planned. Since then, multiple reports have speculated about possible release windows, including Diwali and Christmas, though the makers have not officially confirmed any new date.
Industry reports indicate that the film is still undergoing post-production work, with changes being incorporated and the final cut yet to be locked. Composer Ravi Basrur is reportedly working on the film’s score. Notably, the film has not yet been formally submitted to the CBFC — the makers are expected to approach the board only once the final version is locked.
Release Date Still Unconfirmed
Despite the latest development, Maatrubhumi’s release date remains officially unconfirmed. The makers are yet to reveal when the film will release in theatres, and the certification process is expected to play a crucial role in determining the next release window. Until an official announcement is made, reports linking the film to specific dates should be treated as speculation. The release strategy is likely to be finalised only after the final cut is locked and certification is completed.
Salman Khan is reportedly playing the role of an Indian Army officer in the film, a detail that has significantly added to the anticipation surrounding the project. Apart from Maatrubhumi, Salman Khan has several other projects lined up, including a reported collaboration with director Vamshi Paidipally on a film titled Monster, which is said to also feature Nayanthara. There have also been reports linking him to a superhero project from Raj & DK, though no official details have been confirmed yet. For now, attention remains on Maatrubhumi as it moves toward its CBFC screening this week.
