Bollywood is bringing a different kind of spy story with Udta Teer. The upcoming Hindi film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles and mixes comedy, action, confusion and spy mission. The trailer of this film was released on September 23,2026, and it has already given viewers a good idea of what the movie is about. Instead of taking the usual serious spy-film route, Udta Teer uses mistaken identity and memory loss to create a lot of chaos. The film is directed by Aakash Kaushik and is his first film as a director.

When will Udta Teer release?

Udta Teer will release on 9 october,2026 in cinemas. The movie will get theatrical release in India. It is being backed by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. The producers include Karan Johar, Guneet Monga Kapoor, Adar Poonawalla, Apporva Mehta and Achin Jain.

What is Udta Teer about?

The story follows Bilal Ahmad played by Ayushmann Khurana. Bilal is actually a Pakistani intelligence operative. He is sent on mission, but things go completely wrong after an explosion. Bilal suffers from memory loss and wakes up without remembering who he really is. The funny part starts when Bilal begins to believe that he is an officer working with India's Counter-Terrorism Squad {CTS}. So, a Pakistani spy suddenly starts behaving like an Indian officer. He does not remember his real identity, but somehow his patriotic side remains. This creates a strange situation for both sides. While Bilal is busy thinking that he is an Indian officer, his Pakistani handlers are left trying to deal with the situation. The trailer shows that the movie will have action scenes, comedy, explosions, train sequence and plenty of confusion.

Ayushmann Khurana plays the main character, Bilal Ahmad.

Bilal is a Pakistani spy who loses his memory after an explosion. After that, he completely forgets his real identity and starts believing that he is working for India's Counter- Terrorism Squad. This role is different from the usual characters Ayushmann has played because the character has both an action and comedy side.

Sara Ali Khan's character

Sara Ali Khan plays a CTC officer role who works alongside Bilal. The trailer does not reveal every detail about her character, so audiences will have to wait for the film to understand her complete role in the story.

What happens in the trailer?

The trailer starts by introducing the spy angle, but it quickly turns into a comedy of errors. Bilal is involved in a mission when an explosion changes everything. After losing his memory, he has no idea that he is actually a Pakistani operative.

Instead, he believes that he is an Indian officer. This creates problems for his Pakistani handlers because their own spy is now working against the identity he was supposed to protect.

Is Udta Teer Connected to Dhurandhar?

After the trailer came out, people on social media started comparing Udta Teer with Dhurandhar. The reason is the similar India-Pakistan spy setup, but the stories take very different turns. In Dhurandhar, an Indian spy goes undercover in Pakistan, while in Udta Teer, Ayushmann Khurrana plays a Pakistani spy who comes to India. Things become even more confusing when he loses his memory and starts believing that he is an Indian officer. Because of this reverse setup, some viewers have started calling Udta Teer a funny or “reverse” version of Dhurandhar. However, there is no official confirmation that the two films are connected, or that Udta Teer is a sequel or remake of Dhurandhar. For now, it is only a comparison being made by viewers after watching the trailer.

Music and other highlights

The music of Udta Teer comes from Sachin-Jigar. The film also has a connection with rapper Emiway Bantai who is making his Bollywood debut as a playback singer with a song for the movie.

Udta Teer: What to expect?
