Nepal Bans Release of Ayushmann Khurrana's Film Udta Teer Citing Content Restrictions
The Hindi spy action-comedy film Udta Teer, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, has been banned from release in Nepal. The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology cited Section 5(3) of Nepal's Film Act, 2026 B.S., prohibiting its subject matter, reportedly due to its storyline involving India-Pakistan tensions. The ban was communicated officially to the producers and distributors ahead of the film's scheduled October 23, 2026 release. This follows similar restrictions on other Hindi films in foreign markets.
