Salman Khan hosted a private screening of Maatrubhumi, according to NDTV Movies. The guest list included directors Subhash Ghai, known for Khalnayak and Chandni, and Sooraj Barjatya, director of Hum Aapke Hain Koun. David Dhawan also attended.

Screenwriter Rumi Jafry, director Kabir Khan, and actors Riteish Deshmukh and Chitrangada Singh were also present.

The screening was not a press event or red-carpet affair. Salman invited filmmakers and creatives he respects. Screening a project for Subhash Ghai and Sooraj Barjatya means presenting it to established figures in Hindi cinema.

In an industry where most events are widely documented, a truly private screening remains uncommon. The selective nature of the gathering has drawn speculation about which project warranted such an exclusive unveiling to decorated filmmakers.
