EXCLUSIVE: The real reason why Salman Khan changed the title of Battle of Galwan to Maatrubhumi

Salman Khan is set to play an army officer for the first time in the Apoorva Lakhia directed Battle of Galwan, which now has a new title Maatrubhumi. The announcement came as a surprise as none anticipated the makers to change the title of the film. Ever since, we made calls to all our sources to know the reason behind the change of title.
