The path to the release of Salman Khan's long-awaited war drama 'Matrubhumi' has become clear after receiving permission from the government. The Ministry of Defence and Information Resources (I&B) issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the new version of the film, allowing it to be released in cinemas.
The film, based on the events of the India-China clash in Galwan in 2020, previously faced objections from the Ministry of Defence due to improving relations between the two countries. After receiving the NOC, the creators plan to release the film for Diwali this year, on November 13th.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the Ministry of Defence had some comments regarding the content and the mention of China in the film, given the recent diplomatic improvements between India and China. However, sources state that officials at the I&B Ministry are fully satisfied with the revised version provided by the creators and issued the NOC last week.
After obtaining the NOC, Salman Khan began working on the film's release plans, considering the date of November 13th. He believes that the festive atmosphere and celebratory mood immediately following Diwali would be perfect for this patriotic war drama. If everything goes according to plan, the official announcement of the release could happen within the next ten days.
For the film to be released, only the printing by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) remains. The creators will soon submit it to the film censorship board. If the CBFC approval is obtained this month, the film will appear in theaters on November 13th. Significant changes were made to the original script following government directives, and positive aspects concerning India-China relations have now been added.
The film 'Matrubhumi', directed by Apurva Lahia, features a cast including Salman Khan and actress Chitrangada Singh. The previously delayed film generates great excitement among fans. With the NOC secured, all attention is focused on the censorship board procedure and the upcoming official statement from the creators.
