When I say dustbin medium, what it basically means is that we make anything and put it on TV and say that people will watch it. Whoever is creative, whoever wants betterment of television, we tell you that the content today we are churning out is not up to the mark. Why am I watching OTT right now?

He also revealed that he personally reached out to one of his critics on Instagram after facing backlash. He continued, "I didn't talk about any actor, director, or producer. So imagine those 3-4 people who commented on TV. They didn't work as hard as I did on TV. But anyway, to put the whole controversy to rest. I've always had the best interests of television at heart. And I have fought for television for the last 30 years.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/metoo-now-actor-rohit-roy-is-accussed-of-sexual-harassment-170613"><strong>#MeToo: Actor Rohit Roy accused of sexual harassment</strong></a></p><h2>What did Rohit Roy say?</h2><p>Last month, while speaking on the <i>Kindle Cast </i>YouTube channel, Rohit Roy had said that the television industry has changed over the years and pointed out that many television serials now seem to follow the same formula, with similar concepts and storylines being repeated.

OM: Dhanush-Mammootty's action thriller to release in November

<p>Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi was set to release in April, but it has still not been able to find its way to the big screen. However, it has now been learnt that the movie, which was earlier titled, The Battle of Galwan, has finally received the green signal from the government.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Said to be based on the Galwan battle between India and China, the film faced multiple postponements due to its sensitive subject matter and concerns over how it would portray China and whether it might hamper the geopolitical relationship between the neighbouring countries. &nbsp;</p><h3>When is Maatrubhumi releasing? Here's what the new update says. &nbsp;</h3><p>After a delay of over six months, Salman's movie might have received permission to go ahead from the I&amp;B Ministry. &nbsp;According to Bollywood Hungama, a source has shared that the ministry is now 'satisfied' with the new cut of the movie and has also given its NOC. This came months after the teaser of the movie was dropped, which sparked a wave of reaction from across the border.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/salman-khan-salutes-captain-smit-machchhar-will-be-a-pleasure-to-fly-with-you-1791001302793">Salman Khan salutes Captain Smit Machchhar: 'Will be a pleasure to fly with you'</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Over the sequences shown in the movie, it has undergone a series of reshoots. This happened after the Defence Ministry raised objections to sequences reportedly showing an anti-China stance. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A source also shared that the new version of the movie portrays the relationship between India and China in a positive light. &nbsp;“The new version of Maatrubhumi is highly altered compared to the original version. Moreover, it now also talks about the relationship between India and China in a positive light,” the source said. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

The makers will soon submit the film to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). If the CBFC clears the film and the process is completed this month.Salman and his team will most probably bring Maatrubhumi to cinemas on November 13. A clearer picture in this regard will emerge in the next 10 days,” the source said. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The movie has also faced a delay after the death of the actor Prashant Tamang, who was playing a main antagonist. The delay happened over the incomplete portions involving the later singer and actor. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace also features Chitrangda Singh in a key role.

Set to release in April 2026, the movie was indefinitely postponned. Based on the Battle of Galwan between India and China, the movie faced delays over the subject and the anti-China stance that was reportedly featured. 

Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi was set to release in April, but it has still not been able to find its way to the big screen. However, it has now been learnt that the movie, which was earlier titled, The Battle of Galwan, has finally received the green signal from the government. Said to be based on the Galwan battle between India and China, the film faced multiple postponements due to its sensitive subject matter and concerns over how it would portray China and whether it might hamper the geopolitical relationship between the neighbouring countries. When is Maatrubhumi releasing? Here's what the new update says. After a delay of over six months, Salman's movie might have received permission to go ahead from the I&B Ministry. According to Bollywood Hungama, a source has shared that the ministry is now 'satisfied' with the new cut of the movie and has also given its NOC. This came months after the teaser of the movie was dropped, which sparked a wave of reaction from across the border. Also read: Salman Khan salutes Captain Smit Machchhar: 'Will be a pleasure to fly with you' Over the sequences shown in the movie, it has undergone a series of reshoots. This happened after the Defence Ministry raised objections to sequences reportedly showing an anti-China stance. A source also shared that the new version of the movie portrays the relationship between India and China in a positive light. “The new version of Maatrubhumi is highly altered compared to the original version. Moreover, it now also talks about the relationship between India and China in a positive light,” the source said.

On Gandhi Jayanti, veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah joined the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) ‘Jail Bharo’ protest at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, alongside film fraternity members including Vishal Dadlani, Vishal Bhardwaj and Rekha Bhardwaj.

Veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah were seen participating in the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) Jail Bharo protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park on Friday. Both were welcomed on stage by CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke. Azmi addressed the gathering and spoke about the right to vote and backed the organisation's demand for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The actor, who had earlier taken part in a students' protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, told the crowd that people should protest through democratic means if their names are removed from electoral rolls. The Mumbai gathering also saw several names from the film and music industry, including Vishal Dadlani, Vishal Bhardwaj and Rekha Bhardwaj. ‘Voting is our right’ Azmi spoke to the reporters before heading to the stage and said, “Voting is our right. If anyone tries to take away our right to vote, we will do what is necessary through democratic means.” She later addressed those gathered at Shivaji Park in Mumbai and said, “A very, very warm greeting to all of you. Since I am from Mumbai, seeing all of you present here in such large numbers brings me immense happiness.” “Our vote is our right, it is our voice, we have been hearing this since childhood. But when our right is snatched away from us, when our names are removed from the electoral rolls, what will we do? We will protest. This is our right. Today, look around and see how far your eyes can reach, this is the victory of democracy. Because we have recognised our own strength, and we have realised that we do not have to tolerate anything wrong, because this is our country, our Constitution has given us this right. So, many congratulations to all of you,” she added.
