The change in title was confirmed by the film’s director, Apoorva Lakhia, who explained that the decision was not made suddenly. According to him, both titles—Battle of Galwan and Maatrubhumi—had been registered from the very beginning of the film’s production.
Speaking about the shift, Lakhia said that while many fans might see the move as unexpected, the creative team had been considering the change throughout the filmmaking process. As the story evolved, the filmmakers realized that the narrative went far beyond the depiction of a single battle.
