Snake rescued from Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment

Officials with a snake handler reached Khan's house, which is located in Bandra. Reportedly, the snake was rescued with care by the wrangler from the spot and handed over to the authorities.

The rescued snake is likely to be a non-poisonous one.

The report added that the snake handler was called to Galaxy Apartment, where Salman Khan has been living for decades now. The snake was said to be located below the building. Reportedly, it was caught by the handler using its hands and coiled before being placed in a bag.

Pictures from the scene have also surfaced online.

However, Salman Khan is yet to react to the development.

Maatrubhumi was earlier titled Battle of Galwan. It was said to be based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between India and China. However, portions of the films have been changed following directions from the Ministry of Defence, as per reports.

Previously, Bollywood Hungama reported that almost 40% of the film was reshot after elimination of China from the film script.

“Earlier, the film was inspired by a real event. But as per the request of the Ministry of Defence, Salman Khan and director Apoorva Lakhia reshot the film by adding a fictional spin to the story. Accordingly, he reshot nearly 40% of the film as he added some romantic scenes, backstory, etc. The makers submitted the new cut, hoping that they would get the NOC. But the Ministry still has apprehensions,” a source told the portal.

Reportedly, the Ministry urged to not mention China in the film at all. The source added, “One of the requests to Salman Khan is that China shouldn’t be mentioned in the film. This was communicated to the makers in advance. The cut of Maatrubhumi, which was submitted earlier this month, has no mention of China.”

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced under Salman Khan Films, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace is expected to release in 2026. However, no official date has been announced by the team yet.
