Salman Khan and Nepali actor Anoop Bikram Shahi portray military officers on opposing sides in Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The trailer offers a first look at their confrontation ahead of the film’s December 4 release.
The official trailer of Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace has been released, offering a look at Salman Khan and Nepali actor Anoop Bikram Shahi on opposing sides of a military confrontation. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the Hindi war drama is scheduled to open in cinemas on December 4, 2026.
Released online on November 10, the approximately four-minute-and-35-second preview combines mountain border tensions, close combat and scenes of family life.
Khan appears as an Indian Army officer, while Shahi plays a major in China’s People’s Liberation Army. Their confrontation gives Nepali viewers an early look at Shahi’s Bollywood debut.
Chitrangda Singh plays Khan’s wife. The trailer includes exchanges between the couple and moments with their children, establishing the relationships that military duty places under strain.
As the action moves towards the border, the preview follows soldiers facing danger in difficult mountain terrain. Alongside its combat sequences, the film’s promotional message emphasises sacrifice, humanity and the hope for peace.
Maatrubhumi draws inspiration from the 2020 Galwan Valley confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops. Previously titled Battle of Galwan, the film has since adopted its current title and the tagline “May War Rest in Peace”.
Khan has described the project as an inspired story rather than a biopic. At the Mumbai press preview on November 6, he said the film explores soldiers and their families on both sides of the conflict.
Produced by Salma Khan under Salman Khan Films, Maatrubhumi features cinematography by Fasahat Khan and editing by Mayuresh Sawant. Ravi Basrur has composed the background score and handled sound design.
The film’s music credits include Himesh Reshammiya, Meet Bros, Sajid Khan, Shamir Tandon and Ayaan Lall.
