What happens when a spy forgets which side he's actually working for? That's the wild premise driving Udta Teer, and this spy comedy movie just dropped a trailer that's equal parts patriotic, ridiculous, and genuinely funny.

Udta Teer Trailer Out
The trailer for Udta Teer released on September 23, and it wastes no time setting up its central joke. Ayushmann Khurrana plays Bilal Ahmed, a Pakistani spy sent into India on a covert mission. Things go sideways almost immediately when a blast leaves him with severe memory loss, and instead of forgetting everything, he ends up convinced he's actually an Indian intelligence officer.
Running at just over three minutes, the trailer blends espionage, mistaken identity, and situational comedy into one chaotic ride, as Bilal fumbles his way through undercover missions while everyone around him tries to figure out what's actually going on. It's a genuinely unusual setup for a spy comedy movie, and that's exactly what's got people talking about it.
What Is Udta Teer About?
At its core, this spy comedy movie is about identity, confusion, and a man caught between two countries without even realising it. Bilal is originally sent to India with a clear mission and a clear loyalty. But once the blast wipes his memory, all of that gets scrambled. He starts genuinely believing he's Indian, and driven by that belief, he vows to protect the very country he was originally sent to spy against.
What follows is a series of comic misunderstandings, undercover missions gone wrong, and a growing tangle of mistaken identities, as Bilal tries to piece together who he really is while the people around him scramble to keep up with the chaos he's creating. It's less a traditional espionage thriller and more a genre-bending spy comedy movie, mixing patriotism with pure situational humour.
Sara Ali Khan's New Movie Udta Teer Cast
This marks Sara Ali Khan's new movie with Ayushmann Khurrana, and interestingly, it's actually their first collaboration, even though their other film together, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, ended up being announced first. Sara Ali Khan has spoken about how Udta Teer was filmed before that project, making this her earlier pairing with Khurrana despite releasing after.
Sara Ali Khan's new movie appearance here is being described as brief but important to the plot, adding a key piece to Bilal's confused journey. Beyond the two leads, the film brings together a massive ensemble cast, including Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Mukul Dev, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Sandeep Anand, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Smita Tambe. That's a genuinely stacked supporting cast for a spy comedy movie, and it gives the film plenty of room for character-driven humour beyond just its two stars.
Ayushmann Khurrana on Playing a Pakistani Spy
At the trailer launch, Ayushmann Khurrana was asked whether it felt difficult chanting "Pakistan Zindabad" as part of his character. He responded simply that it's part of the script, and that as an actor, he's ready to take on whatever a role demands, adding that similar moments have appeared in spy films before. He also described Udta Teer as more of a patriotic comedy and genre-bender than a conventional spy thriller.
That comment gives a good sense of the film's tone. This isn't trying to be a serious, tension-heavy espionage drama. It's leaning fully into comedy, using the spy setup as a backdrop for humour rather than genuine geopolitical tension.

Behind the Camera
Udta Teer marks the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik. The film is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions along with Guneet Monga Kapoor's Sikhya Entertainment, marking their renewed collaboration after previously working together on titles like Kill and Gyaarah Gyaarah.
When Can You Watch It?
Udta Teer is set to release in theatres on October 9, 2026. With its unusual mix of comedy, patriotism, and mistaken identity, this spy comedy movie looks like a fairly fresh addition to Bollywood's crowded festive release calendar this year.
Between Ayushmann Khurrana's confused patriot-spy act, Sara Ali Khan's new movie pairing with him, and a massive ensemble cast backing up the chaos, Udta Teer looks like a genuinely entertaining spy comedy movie that doesn't take its own premise too seriously, and that might just be its biggest strength.
