It largely moves away from the conflict narrative.
The makers of Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace have finally shared the film’s trailer.
The trailer offers a glimpse into a story of patriotism, sacrifice and the human cost of war.
Salman Khan plays an Indian soldier in the film, and he appears in an action-packed avatar.
The trailer features intense combat sequences that showcase the superstar in a fierce new light.
It also features picturesque locations, which add to the larger-than-life presentation of the film.
The film is set against the backdrop of the India-China conflict.
However, it largely moves away from the conflict narrative and focuses more on emotions.
Salman shared the trailer on social media with a playful caption:
“Aaj release karoon ya kal? Jo kal kare so aaj kar, Jo aaj kare so ab. Enjoy the trailer.”
He also tagged several members of the cast and crew in the post.
Chitrangada Singh plays the role of Khan’s wife in the film.

The film further highlights the cost of war and a soldier’s resolve.
It shows how a conflict leads to universal emotions and tensions on both sides of the border.
The trailer runs for around four and a half minutes, which is longer than most film trailers.

The visuals promise something different for Salman Khan’s fans this time.
The makers had claimed earlier that the film mainly focuses on how patriotism and the desire for peace can go hand in hand.
The trailer reflects that idea through visuals of lives lost on both sides of the border.
It also shows families torn apart by the conflict. The suffering in the film extends far beyond the battlefield.
This approach sets the film apart from many other war dramas made in Indian cinema.
The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, who also received a tag in the actor’s post.
It is slated to hit the screens on December 4, 2026. The release comes after the film was postponed multiple times.
Fans have waited a long time to see Salman Khan in this soldier’s role.
The trailer has now renewed excitement among audiences ahead of the December release.
