Aakash Kaushik’s directorial debut Udta Teer is already sparking conversation — not just for its premise, but for the audacity behind it.

Aakash Kaushik confirms using AI to recreate late actor Mukul Dev’s voice in Udta Teer after his death in May 2025. The film’s Operation Sindoor sequence, referencing real events, required posthumous dialogue adjustments. Kaushik shared emotional memories and preserved Dev’s WhatsApp voice notes.

Ayushmann Khurrana addresses questions on playing a Pakistani spy who chants 'Pakistan Zindabad' in Udta Teer, calling it standard spy-genre territory reworked as comedy, ahead of the film's October 9 release.

The Udta Teer trailer dropped on Thursday with Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan and director Aakash Kaushik praising Mukul Dev’s performance, confirming it as his swan song before the film hits theatres on October 9.

Udta Teer's debut poster shows Ayushmann Khurrana hanging between India and Pakistan border markers with a 'Top Secret' file and a goat in sunglasses, teasing a comic spin on patriotism before its October 9 release.
