Actor and singer Meiyang Chang has penned an emotional tribute to his friend and fellow Indian Idol contestant Prashant Tamang ahead of the late singer-actor’s final screen appearance in Salman Khan’s upcoming film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace.
Taking to Instagram, the Badmaash Company actor expressed happiness that the film, earlier titled Battle of Galwan, is finally set to arrive in theatres next month. He said the release would give Prashant’s admirers an opportunity to see him in a special look on the big screen.
Sharing a photograph of Prashant, Chang wrote, “Mero Bhai and his final screen appearance! I’m so glad Salman Khan’s ‘Maatrubhumi’ (erstwhile Battle of G) is finally hitting the theatres next month so that everybody who loved Prashant Tamang can finally see him in this amazing look. From Idol to Nepali films to Paatal Lok to the biggest screens worldwide.”
Recalling their friendship, Chang said he would have teased Prashant about his appearance and joked that he wished he had been offered the role instead. He also remembered how excited Prashant was about the project, despite being shy and awkward while discussing it.
“Jokes apart, you were so excited for this one and in a manner that was so typically you, would still be shy and awkward telling me about it. I wish we could’ve watched this together. We WILL be watching it together. We will be watching you,” he added.
Prashant Tamang rose to fame after winning the third season of the singing reality show Indian Idol. He subsequently appeared in Nepali films and the web series Paatal Lok. The 43-year-old actor, who hailed from Darjeeling in West Bengal, died of a cardiac arrest at his residence in January this year.
In Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, Tamang will be seen playing the main antagonist. The war drama, inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict, features Salman Khan as an Indian Army officer and is scheduled to release in theatres on December 4, 2026.
