Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Udta Teer' Release Delayed to October 23 Amid Crowded Schedule
The release of Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan's comedy-drama 'Udta Teer' has been postponed from October 9 to October 23, 2026. The makers cited a crowded October release schedule, including Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam 3' and other films, as reasons for the delay to secure a cleaner theatrical window and maximize screen availability. Directed by Akash A Kaushik in his debut, the film follows a Pakistani spy with memory loss who believes he is an Indian patriot. The ensemble cast and trailer have generated positive buzz ahead of the new release date.
