Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi recently made headlines after reports claimed that the CBFC had not issued a certification for the film, raising doubts about its release. However, the reasons behind the reported delay were not disclosed.
Salman Khan Films has now dismissed those reports. The production house clarified that Maatrubhumi has not yet been submitted to the CBFC for certification. It also requested media organisations and the public not to circulate unverified information, stating that all official updates will be shared only through the production company’s official handles.
The earlier reports had briefly raised hopes among Salman Khan‘s fans, who believed the film was ready for release. However, the clarification from Salman Khan Films has left many disappointed, as there is still no official confirmation about the film’s release date.
The latest development has triggered mixed reactions on social media. Some fans argued that if the film continues to face delays, an OTT release would be a practical alternative. Others criticised the reported changes surrounding the project, including its title, while expressing frustration over the prolonged uncertainty.
Several fans also suggested that the makers should consider releasing the film directly on OTT instead of waiting for a theatrical release. Some claimed that the promotional material, including the songs, has not generated enough excitement or created strong pre-release buzz.
A section of fans believes that repeated delays could affect the film’s box office prospects, even if it opens well. Some also compared Maatrubhumi with SVC63 featuring Vamshi Paidipally, arguing that prolonged uncertainty around Salman Khan’s film could shift audience attention towards upcoming releases.
With multiple delays continuing to test fans’ patience, expectations remain uncertain. The coming weeks are expected to provide greater clarity on whether Salman Khan sticks to a theatrical release or considers an alternative strategy for Maatrubhumi.
