Ahead of a major Bollywood box office face-off scheduled for December 4, 2026, superstar Salman Khan has extended warm support to actress Shraddha Kapoor and the team behind her upcoming biographical drama Eetha.
Even though his own war drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace arrives in cinemas on the exact same Friday, Khan set aside box office rivalry on Thursday, November 12, to promote the competing release on social media.
Salman Khan’s Instagram Shoutout
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Salman Khan shared the official poster of Eetha along with a direct link to the film’s trailer, tagging lead star Shraddha Kapoor, producer Dinesh Vijan, and production banner Maddock Films.
“All the best for Eetha!” Khan wrote in his caption, prompting a grateful response from Maddock Films thanking him for his support.
Both Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace and Eetha are locked for worldwide theatrical releases on December 4, setting up one of the biggest year-end clashes at the Indian box office.
About ‘Eetha’ and ‘Maatrubhumi’
The December 4 clash brings two sharply contrasting genres to theatres—a Maharashtrian folk-musical biopic and a high-stakes military action drama.
Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Utekar under Maddock Films and Kathputli Creations, Eetha is inspired by the life of legendary Maharashtra Tamasha and Lavani performer Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar. Featuring music by Ajay–Atul, the film also stars Randeep Hooda, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Siddharth Jadhav.
May War Rest in Peace: Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salma Khan under Salman Khan Films, the film stars Salman Khan alongside Chitrangda Singh with music by Himesh Reshammiya. Loosely inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley border clash (and previously titled Battle of Galwan), the film was postponed from its original April slot to refine its visual effects and focus on a broader human narrative about soldiers and their families.
