Ayushmann Khurrana is back to doing what he does best: choosing scripts that break the mould. Speaking at the 26th edition of FICCI FRAMES in Mumbai, the actor reflected on India’s rising stature on the international stage, attributing it to the country’s unique cultural currency. According to the star, the secret to expanding India’s global footprint lies in staying true to our roots, noting that the more grounded we remain, the further we can reach.
Fans eager for the actor to return to his quirky, unconventional roots have plenty to look forward to with his upcoming project, Udta Teer. Releasing on October 9, 2026, the film sees Ayushmann taking on the role of a Pakistani spy who suffers from memory loss. In a hilarious twist, the character forgets his national allegiance and ends up supporting India. Describing it as a genre-defying patriotic comedy, Ayushmann promises a film that is both original and perfect for a family outing.
The film marks the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik and boasts a massive ensemble cast including Sara Ali Khan, Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, and Supriya Pilgaonkar. With production duties shared by heavyweights like Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Guneet Monga Kapoor, the collaboration between Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment is already generating significant buzz. With its unique premise and a stellar lineup of talent, Udta Teer is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases in the actor’s filmography.
