The release date for Salman Khan’s film ‘Matrubhumi’ has been confirmed; it is set to hit theaters on December 4, 2026. During the trailer launch for ‘Matrubhumi’, Salman Khan also shared his initial reaction regarding the ‘Ramayana’ film project. He remarked, "If we are to discuss a ‘Ramayana’ film, the focus should be on the Ramayana itself—talk about Ram, Sita, and Ravana, rather than a 4,000-crore budget or VFX. I don’t think that’s the right approach."
