Salman Khan's much-awaited war drama Battle of Galwan has received a new title, the actor revealed on Monday. The film will now be known as Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. Khan took to social media to share the update with a striking new poster.
New title revealed

The actor's latest post showcases him in an intense look as a soldier with blood, bruises, and visible cuts. Hinting at the brutal conditions of war, the poster features him holding a weapon wrapped in barbed wire.
Inspired by real-life events
Salman Khan's starrer is said to be inspired by the 2020 military clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley. Marked as one of the major stand-offs between the two countries, it took place on June 15, 2020.
As per reports, Khan is playing the role of the Indian Army colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, who led the troops during the clash and was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra.
