Bollywood actors Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar on the occasion of Dussehra. The visit served as a spiritual precursor to the upcoming release of their film, Udta Teer, which is scheduled to hit cinemas on October 23. Photographs from the visit, showing both actors dressed in white at the holy shrine, have circulated widely online.
In one widely shared video clip from the Darbar Sahib, Sara Ali Khan appeared visibly emotional, with tears seen in her eyes while holding a sacred cloth. Beside her, Ayushmann Khurrana stood with folded hands, offering prayers. The actor later shared images from the visit on social media, wishing her followers a happy Dussehra and expressing well wishes for love, luck, and laughter.
The film Udta Teer, which marks the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik, has faced changes to its release schedule. Initially intended for an October 9 debut, the production team decided to postpone the premiere to October 23 to secure a clearer window in the cinema landscape. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Mukul Dev, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Sandeep Anand, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Smita Tambe.
Regarding the narrative of the film, Ayushmann Khurrana plays a character described as a Pakistani spy who suffers from memory loss. According to the actor, the film blends humour with patriotism. In an earlier interaction with ANI, Khurrana described the project as a departure from conventional storytelling, noting that his character forgets his national allegiance and consequently finds himself supporting India. He characterized the film as a “pro-India patriotic comedy” that offers a unique, novel, and distinct experience suitable for family audiences.
The production is a collaborative effort between Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, with the project being produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain. This film also marks another on-screen collaboration for the lead pair, following their previous work together in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do.
As the release date approaches, the actors continue to engage with the public, with their recent temple visit drawing significant attention across social media platforms. The project is being positioned by the lead actor as a return to his core interest in championing original content, diverging from typical genre conventions to provide a fresh take for cinema-goers.
Fans and followers have responded to the visuals of the visit, which provided a brief glimpse into the personal moments of the actors ahead of what the production team hopes will be a successful theatrical run. With the film’s release now set for later this week, the cast and crew are finalizing the promotional cycle for this genre-defying comedy.
