Salman Khan’s ‘Maatrubhumi’ Postponed After Prashant Tamang’s Death

Producers are evaluating solutions for his unfinished scenes with a path forward expected by month’s end.

Overview

  • The film’s early April release has been pulled after the actor-singer’s January 2026 death left key portions incomplete.
  • Prashant Tamang, cast as the main antagonist, had shot several sequences, but crucial scenes were still pending.
  • Reshooting large action blocks is described as financially and logistically difficult, with Salman Khan’s dates and look continuity adding pressure.
  • The team is considering a recast or AI/VFX face-replacement to finish remaining scenes, which would require his family’s approval.
  • No new release date is locked, though an Independence Day window is being explored, and the retitled project carries the tagline “May War Rest In Peace.”
