Mumbai, 11 November (H.S.): Salman Khan's upcoming film 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace' has become a talking point following the release of its trailer, particularly over one of the actor's dialogues that has sparked considerable debate on social media. After facing multiple delays, the film is now scheduled to hit theatres on December 4. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film marks the first on-screen collaboration between Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh. While the trailer has received mixed reactions, with some viewers praising its action sequences and storyline, a particular dialogue delivered by Salman has drawn criticism online.
In one scene in the trailer, Salman is seen engaging in a conversation with a Chinese soldier, during which he says, Let's sort this out, bro. Peace out. The casual and light-hearted tone of the dialogue, delivered against the backdrop of a tense military confrontation, has struck several viewers as out of place. The line quickly triggered a wave of reactions on social media, with some users drawing comparisons with Salman's earlier viral remark, Sonam, it's done, bro.
Several social media users questioned the appropriateness of using such informal language in a situation involving military tensions. Others criticised the film's dialogue writing and questioned the judgement of those responsible for approving the line. Some users went as far as suggesting that Salman should consider retiring from acting.
Notably, 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace' is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 4. The film is set to face box-office competition from Shraddha Kapoor's upcoming film 'Eetha'.
