In the powerful trailer of Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, Salman Khan delivers a line that gives you goosebumps. "We are soldiers... we are made for days like these.''

After months of waiting, delays and endless reports, Khan's most awaited and most delayed movie, Maatrubhumi's first trailer is finally out. The film, which has been in the making for a long time, brings to life a defining chapter of Indian history, a war fought at over 15,000 feet, in one of the harshest terrains in the world. The movie is based on the 2020 military standoff between the soldiers of India and China.

The mood shifts from joy to tension, from brotherhood to bravery, as the soldiers prepare to stand for the motherland at 15,000 feet above sea level. The trailer promises a gripping story of courage, sacrifice and patriotism.

The trailer was unveiled days after the event was organised in Mumbai in presence of the entire cast and crew including, Salman, director Apoorva Lakhia, Chitrangada Singh, Zeyn Shaw, Abhishree Sen and others.

Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace release date

The film was originally slated for an April release, but it ran into one delay after another, first because of a crowded box office calendar, and later because of concerns surrounding its sensitive subject. Based on the Galwan clash between India and China, the movie was repeatedly postponed over worries about its portrayal of China and the impact it could have on the diplomatic ties between the two neighbouring nations. However, with the trailer, Khan revealed that the movie will hit the theatres on December 4.

In the movie, Salman reportedly plays the role of Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, who led the troops of Indian soldiers during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra.
