Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi is currently facing multiple issues, with no confirmed release date yet. Changes made to the film are still awaiting approval from authorities, which has delayed its progress and created uncertainty around its theatrical release.
Amid these delays, rumours suggested that the film might release directly on OTT platforms. However, these claims have now been denied. Sources confirm that the film is designed for a theatrical experience, and Salman along with director Apoorva Lakhia are focused on a cinema release.
Fans have reacted with relief to the confirmation that the film will not skip theatres. At the same time, some have questioned whether OTT platforms refused to acquire the film, raising doubts about the situation surrounding a major star like Salman Khan.
There is also confusion regarding the film’s content. Earlier reports indicated that Maatrubhumi would focus mainly on family drama, which has concerned fans expecting mass entertainment and high energy moments typical of Salman’s films.
Despite clarity on the release format, concerns remain about further delays. Prolonged waiting could increase the production budget, especially at a time when Salman’s recent films have struggled to impress audiences in terms of content.
Many fans are questioning why the makers have not arranged a screening for authorities to speed up approvals. The lack of updates has added to the uncertainty, with some even speculating that the film may face more complications.
The biggest question now is whether Maatrubhumi will manage a theatrical release this year. With several doubts still unresolved, audiences are waiting for an official announcement regarding its final release plan.
