Salman Khan on the news of the change in the ‘anti-China’ content in the film’s script

At the trailer launch event, the Bollywood superstar described the film’s plot as ‘a tale of soldiers from two countries’.

Salman said at the event, “The story is about soldiers, soldiers of two countries. There is no negative force in the story. Actually, the situation is negative. But it’s like the country comes first for the soldiers. They get stuck in a situation and both sides are trying to resolve it.”

“Our director used to have an older version,” he says wryly, pointing to Apoorva Lakhia’s earlier interpretations.

Actor, who has also produced motherlandalso clarified that the film is not a biopic.

“It’s not a biopic. It’s inspired… I just wanted a film with a man-to-man conflict. Since the story is Chinese and we (Indians), it seemed like it would strain our relationship. But I don’t believe the Chinese will say, ‘Salman Khan has made a film, let’s attack India’.”

At the same time, Shiv Arur, Managing Editor, NDTV, and Rahul Singh officially ended their association with Matrubhumi. Defense journalists were credited with the original idea for the film, which was based on a story from his book, India’s most fearless 3.

We are grateful to Salman Khan, Apoorva Lakhia and the entire team for their warmth and the opportunity to be a part of this journey. We respect them greatly and wish them all the best as they always wish our film’s success wholeheartedly,” he said in a statement.
