Other projects
Meanwhile, Khan is also busy with 'Maatrubhumi'
Khan is also busy with his war film Maatrubhumi. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and co-starring Chitrangada Singh, it's currently undergoing reshoots in Mumbai. It will feature a new Chinese song by Himesh Reshammiya. Originally titled Battle of Galwan, the film reportedly draws from the 2020 India-China conflict. However, due to improved relations between India and China and subsequent concerns from the Ministry of Defence regarding its content, several alterations have been made, per Bollywood Hungama.
