On one hand, cinema lovers who have been waiting for this film for a long time have got the gift of release date of 4th December, on the other hand, the actor has taken such a revolutionary step regarding the ticket rates which has attracted the attention of the entire film industry. The action and emotion packed trailer of the film was unveiled at a grand event held in Mumbai on Friday evening, where Salman Khan himself spoke about this special initiative from the stage. In the film industry, tickets for big budget films usually skyrocket, but Salman Khan has set a very symbolic price to make his patriotic film reach a certain section of the society. Salman Khan made it clear that 'Mathrubhoomi' is not just an ordinary commercial cinema, but it is a saga of the supreme sacrifice of the brave soldiers of the country and their unwavering dedication towards the motherland, which should reach every person in the country who has seen the changing times of the country with his own eyes. Know who will get tickets for just Rs 11: Bhaijaan's special gift for senior citizens When Salman Khan announced during the trailer launch that the audience will be able to watch 'Mathrubhoomi' for just Rs 11, everyone present in the auditorium was surprised. However, the actor also clarified an important condition along with this. Salman Khan said that this special concessional ticket rate of Rs 11 is not dedicated to the general public or the youth, but to the senior citizens of the country. According to the official announcement of the actor, citizens who are 75 years of age or above will be able to enjoy this film by going to any theater in the country and paying just Rs 11. Sharing the sentiment behind this decision, Salman Khan said that our elders have seen the country being built, growing and facing many historical challenges at the borders. Citizens above 75 years of age are an invaluable heritage of our society, who have nourished post-independence India with their hard work. The main objective of this initiative is to bring such senior people respectfully to theaters and show them the immortal story of the brave sons of Galwan. For this, the film producers have made special technical coordination with major multiplex chains and single screen theaters across the country so that senior citizens can easily avail this benefit by showing valid age certificate. The pairing of Salman Khan and Chitrangada Singh will be seen for the first time on the big screen, fans are excited. Another big and interesting attraction of the film 'Mathrubhoomi' is its main star cast and the new on-screen pair. In this film, Bollywood's very talented and beautiful actress Chitrangada Singh is going to be seen in the lead female role for the first time with Salman Khan. Seeing 60 year old Salman Khan and 50 year old Chitrangada Singh sharing the screen together for the first time is going to be a completely new and mature cinematic experience for the audience. The trailer gives a glimpse of the intense chemistry and family bond between the two, which is being highly praised on social media. Film experts believe that amidst the debates that often arise in traditional masala films regarding couples with huge age differences, this casting appears to be very balanced and suits the demands of the character. Chitrangada Singh has played a very strong and emotional character of the Colonel's wife in the film, which shows the silent struggle and courage of the family standing behind the soldier deployed at the border. This new partnership of both the seasoned actors definitely gives a strong emotional base to the film's story. Returning to the silver screen after one and a half years, Salman in the role of Colonel Santosh Babu, the immortal martyr of Galwan. This film is very important for the fans of Salman Khan because through this he is returning to the lead role on the big screen after a long gap of about one and a half years. Earlier, he was seen in the big budget film 'Sikander' released in March 2025, in which actress Rashmika Mandanna was in the lead role. However, 'Sikander' did not perform as per expectations at the box office and failed to impress the audience. After that failure, Salman Khan very carefully selected a script which not only suited his stardom but also strongly touched the national sentiment at the content level. The story of the film 'Mathrubhoomi' is based on the historic and bloody clash between the soldiers of India and China in the snowy Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh in June 2020. In the film, Salman Khan played the brave commanding officer of 16 Bihar Regiment, Colonel B. The immortal character of Santosh Babu (Mahavir Chakra posthumously) has been brought to life. Made under the direction of renowned action film director Apoorva Lakhia, this film not only shows the indomitable courage of the Indian Army in sub-zero temperatures, but also reveals layer by layer the reality of that unequaled war fought to protect the sovereignty of the country at the diplomatic and strategic level. Salman himself has produced this film under the banner of Salman Khan Films. After postponing its release several times, the film is now all set to release simultaneously in theaters across the world on 4th December.
