Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is gearing up for the release of his war-drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, has reacted to the chatter around his biopic. Recently, Salman attended a special event for the film . During the event he was asked if the Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace is a biopic. He clarified that the film is inspired by the event of the Galwan skirmish. Then the conversation took a turn towards his biopic. Talking about the same, he told the media, “There’s nothing in my life that will make a film a superhit. However, there’s a lot in my life which could lead to the reputation of a lot of people sinking”. Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, the film, which was earlier titled Galwan, is inspired on the Galwan stand-off between India and its expansionist neighbour, China on June 15, 2020 during the thick of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India.

 

The Indian and Chinese troops clashed in the Galwan Valley, eastern Ladakh. It was part of a larger border standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The clash turned violent when both sides attempted to patrol disputed areas. The fighting resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, while China also suffered casualties. This was the deadliest India–China face-off in over four decades, escalating tensions and prompting both nations to increase troop deployments and engage in diplomatic talks to avoid further conflict. Currently, India and China have mended their relationship, and have opened multiple channels as a part of diplomacy. n
