Udta Teer

Ayushmann Khurrana's next theatrical release, Udta Teer, is one week away. The spy comedy, which pairs him with Sara Ali Khan, is now set to open in cinemas on 23 October 2026, two weeks later than first planned.

What we know

Udta Teer is presented by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, and the official trailers describe it as a "tod-fod comedy". According to trailer coverage by Outlook India, Khurrana plays Bilal, a Pakistani spy who loses his memory in India and ends up serving with Indian counter-intelligence. The joke is that his handlers across the border find their own agent working against them. The same coverage says a terrorist infiltrating the country pulls Bilal into a race against time.

The makers have not released a detailed official synopsis beyond the trailers and their descriptions, so treat plot details as what the promotional material shows.

• Lead cast: Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan
• Supporting cast (as reported): Ram Kapoor, Gulshan Grover and Mukul Dev, according to Bollywood Hungama. Trailer coverage also lists Rahul Bose, Suhail Nayyar, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala and Supriya Pilgaonkar.

Release date

Udta Teer was first announced for 9 October. On 2 October, Bollywood Hungama reported that the release had moved to 23 October, citing trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The report said the makers wanted a less crowded release window. Both official trailers on Dharma Productions' YouTube channel now say "In cinemas 23rd October", which confirms the new date.

The film opens the same weekend as several other Hindi releases, including Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal's Tu Hai Meri Kiran.

Trailer and teaser status

• Trailer 1: Released on 23 September 2026 on Dharma Productions' official YouTube channel.
• Trailer 2: Released on 13 October 2026 on the same channel.

Music by Sachin-Jigar is part of the campaign. Expect more promotion in the run-up to release.

Why it matters

Khurrana has built his career on high-concept social comedies. Udta Teer moves him into spy comedy, a genre that has recently drawn big audiences. It also marks a new production partnership between Dharma and Guneet Monga Kapoor's Sikhya Entertainment, and Kaushik's debut as a director.
