NEW DELHI : Ayushmann Khurrana has answered whether it was difficult for him to chant “Pakistan Zindabad” in his upcoming film, Udta Teer. In the film, Khurrana plays a Pakistani spy who suffers from memory loss and thinks he is Indian. At the recently held trailer launch, the actor mentioned that as a professional, he has no qualms about doing anything the script legitimately demands.
The actor said, “That’s part of the script, ya. As an actor, you are ready to do anything. Voh toh hota hi raha hai, har ek spy film mein hota hai. But the difference is that this is a spy comedy. Spy comedy hai, patriotic comedy hai, genre bender hai. Main hamesha script ko pehle dekhta hoon. Whatever the script demands from me, I do. And I am a director’s baby, and he has written a fantastic script.”
The film also stars Sara Ali Khan, who revealed Udta Teer was shot before she shared the screen with Khurrana in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do. She recalled having a great time on set and said, “I had a blast, honestly. This film, actually, we shot before Pati Patni Aur Woh Do. But accha tha, alag tha. As an actor, aapko mazza tab aata hai jab ek hi actor ke saath aapki chemistry itni alag ho sakti hai.”
Khan added, “Kyunki jo film aap kar rahe ho, jo kirdaar aap kar rahe ho, vo kitni alag hai.”Ek jagah aap unki life mein tehelka banke aayi ho, ek jagah par aap inki wife hain- equation itna alag hai ki almost in the same time we were able to have such a different equation with the same actor. It was, honestly, so thrilling for me.”
Marking the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik, Udta Teer also brings together a stellar ensemble including Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Mukul Dev, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Sandeep Anand, Supriya Pilgaonkar and Smita Tambe. The film will be out in cinemas on October 9, 2026.
