Ayushmann hovers over Indo‑Pak border in Udta Teer poster; film hits screens Oct 9

Ayushmann Khurrana’s upcoming spy‑comedy, Udta Teer, has unveiled its first poster, which promises a fresh, off‑beat take on the India‑Pakistan relationship. The image shows Khurrana suspended in a hammock straddling the border markers of the two nations, a “Top Secret” file resting on him, while a goat wearing sunglasses watches from the background. The playful visual hints at the film’s central premise: a light‑hearted espionage story that plays with the idea of patriotism and national identity.

The poster’s tagline, “Desh Bhakti Yaad Hai, Par Desh Nahi,” translates to “Patriotism is remembered, but not the country,” suggesting that the movie will explore patriotism through humour rather than conventional patriotic imagery. The quirky design signals that Udta Teer will be an entertainer that re‑examines borders, nationalism and the India‑Pakistan equation.

Ayushmann Khurrana teams up with Sara Ali Khan for the second time after their 2023 collaboration in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do. The pair’s on‑screen chemistry is expected to carry the film’s comedic tone. The movie is written and directed by Akash A Kaushik and produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, with Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla and Apoorva Mehta at the helm. Guneet Monga Kapoor, Achin Jain and co‑producer Raunaq Bajaj also contribute to the production.

Set for a worldwide release on 9 October 2026, Udta Teer will be distributed by Dharma Productions in collaboration with Netflix, Star Gold and Sony Music. The film’s release strategy underscores its aim to reach both domestic and international audiences while blending traditional Bollywood storytelling with a contemporary, comedic spy narrative.
