The name of Salman Khan’s upcoming war drama film ‘Battle of Galwan’ has now been changed to ‘Mathrubhoomi: May War Rest in Peace’. After the news of changing the title of the film came out, there is a lot of discussion about it. Now the film’s director Apoorva Lakhia has given his reaction on this decision and said that this decision was not taken suddenly. While talking to Hindustan Times, Apoorva Lakhia said that changing the title of the film was not a decision taken in a single day. The makers were considering this for a long time. He says that the new name better reflects the larger and broader spirit of the film. The film was earlier being made with the name ‘Battle of Galwan’, which is based on the story inspired by the Galwan Valley clash that took place between the troops of India and China in 2020. In this incident, Indian Army soldiers had shown bravery in extremely difficult circumstances. This incident has been made the basis of the story of the film. According to media reports, one reason behind changing the title is that the makers did not want to limit the film to just one incident. The name ‘Mathrubhoomi’ reflects the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice in a much broader way. Recently, Salman Khan shared a new poster of the film on social media, in which the new title and tagline ‘Mathrubhoomi: May War Rest in Peace’ appeared. In the poster, Salman is seen facing the enemies in an injured condition. Chitrangada Singh will be seen in an important role with Salman Khan in the film. This will be the first time that both the actors will be seen together in a film. The story of the film will show the bravery and struggle of Indian soldiers in Galwan Valley. This war drama has been shot at high-altitude locations, so that the real environment can be shown on screen. However, after changing the title, the discussion regarding the release date of the film has also intensified. The new release date has not been officially announced by the makers yet.
