Ayushmann Khurrana-Led Udta Teer Postponed Amid Drishyam 3’s ₹50 Crore-Plus Box-Office Opening: ‘Choosing a Cleaner Release Window’
The makers shifted the comedy-drama to Oct. 23 to avoid a crowded box office and give it a stronger theatrical runway, they said.
- On Friday, the makers of Udta Teer announced the film will now release on October 23, 2026, postponed from October 9 to secure a cleaner release window in a crowded marketplace.
- Drishyam 3 crossed the Rs 60 crore mark on its opening day, prompting makers to avoid a suddenly crowded marketplace and protect Udta Teer's theatrical screens.
- Directed by Akash A Kaushik, the spy-comedy features Ayushmann Khurrana as a Pakistani spy alongside Sara Ali Khan, Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, and others in an ensemble cast.
- Khurrana described the project as a "genre-defying" patriotic comedy, saying "It features a very unique, novel, and distinct story" that audiences can enjoy with their whole family.
- Produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain, Khurrana also has Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa in his upcoming pipeline.
