There is growing speculation online that Salman Khan’s upcoming patriotic war drama Maatrubhumi (also known as Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace) might release on May 15, 2026.
However, as of April 1, 2026, this date has not been officially confirmed by the makers.
Current Status
The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and starring Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh, was originally scheduled to release on April 17, 2026. Due to the sudden passing of actor-singer Prashant Tamang, who had a key role, the makers had to reshoot and rework certain portions of the film. This led to a delay in the original schedule.

While some unconfirmed reports and social media buzz suggest a possible shift to May 15, reliable sources indicate the team is now eyeing a bigger window, potentially around Independence Day (15 August 2026), which would suit the patriotic theme of the movie.
