Will India-Pakistan themed Udta Teer release in UAE-GCC? Guneet Monga Kapoor BREAKS silence; Ayushmann Khurrana says, This is Indias FIRST patriotic comedy!

Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, producers Guneet Monga Kapoor, Achin Jain and Apoorva Mehta and director Aakash Kaushik attended the trailer of their film Udta Teer at a multiplex in Mumbai. The mediapersons were an annoyed lot as the event started 1 hours and 45 minutes late. However, Ayushmann apologized for the delay and said that he was stuck in heavy traffic. Ayushmann Khurrana assured that its a film like no other. He said, I don't think you can compare this movie to any other film because this is a genre bender for me. For me, it's India's first patriotic comedy! You have seen many spy films. This is a take on those spy films. Aisi film kabhi bani nahin hai. I even told Aakash, 'How did u think of this film?'. It's Aakash's brainchild and I loved working on the film. Ayushmann Khurrana continued, When you'll see the film, you'll realize that aap ne trailer mein kuch bhi nahin dekha. Every five minutes, new layers open up. We were struggling to cut a trailer, as we wondered kya rakhein aur kya nahin rakhein. This is just 20% of the film right now. UAE release? Often films based on the India-Pakistan relationship dont get a release in UAE-GCC countries. In recent times, movies like Gadar 2 (2023), Fighter (2024), Sky Force (2025), The Diplomat (2025), Article 370 (2024), Tiger 3 (2023), The Kashmir Files (2022), Dhurandhar (2025), Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026), etc. didnt get a release in all or several countries in the Middle East. A journalist asked producer Guneet Monga Kapoor whether fans of Ayushmann Khurrana and Soha Ali Khan in the UAE-GCC will get a chance to see Udta Teer? Guneet simply replied, It's going through the censors. Let's see! Udta Teer releases in cinemas on October 9.

Pakistan claiming terror elimination rings hollow with credible inputs proving otherwise

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) First, it was Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif admitting that the country's governments have been supporting terrorists for 30 years, which incidentally came days after the Pahalgam massacre in Jammu and Kashmir where 26 innocent civilians were brutally killed on April 22, 2025. Now, it is Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif himself declaring at the United Nations that his country harboured terrorists, but they were now under control through what he implied were targeted encounters. Statements assuring Pakistan has turned over a new leaf ring hollow, with credible reports and historical evidence of elements within its army providing training, safe havens, and logistical support to outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, among others. Barely four months ago, photographs surfaced showing senior political leaders, including the Prime Ministers Advisor on Political Affairs and Federal Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination, Senator Rana Sanaullah Khan, interacting with globally designated terrorist Hafiz Talha Saeed. Talha Saeed is the son of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed. In the same interview where he admitted supporting terrorists, Khwaja Asif had claimed that Lashkar is a name from the past. It does not exist, in response to the LeT offshoot, Resistance Front, claiming responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. Also, it is a well-chronicled fact that the garrison town of Rawalpindi holds sway over the civilian government ruling from Islamabad. And that power has been illustrated in recent times by its army chief Syed Asim Munir, who leads from the front in international affairs and various national matters, which otherwise come under the ambit of the government. It may not be possible for Prime Minister Sharif to speak for the powerful general, whom he has further empowered by tweaking the countrys laws in recent times. That terror modules exist is beyond denial. The most glaring example is the LeT, which masterminded the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, including foreign nationals. Its founder, Hafiz Saeed, is a UN-designated terrorist, but enjoys freedom within Pakistan, appearing at public rallies and continuing to influence extremist networks. Recent reports indicate that Pakistans spy agency ISI has placed him under enhanced security due to multiple assassination attempts and is reportedly kept in a fortified safe house in Lahore. ISI is a military agency, as asserted by Owen L. Sirrs, author of Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate: Covert Action and Internal Operations, saying it does what military leadership tells it to do. He wrote that the ISI is owned by the Army Chief (and) not the Prime Minister. Similarly, Masood Azhar, the Jaish-e-Mohammed which was behind the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing remains sheltered in Pakistan, despite international pressure. The London bombings of 2005 were linked to extremists who had trained in Pakistan, while the attempted Times Square bombing in 2010 traced back to networks operating from its soil. The 2003 capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Rawalpindi tied the country indelibly to Al Qaedas network in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attack that destroyed New York Citys iconic twin towers of the World Trade Center complex, killings almost 3,000 people. Perhaps the most damning evidence of Pakistans complicity was the discovery of mastermind Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad in 2011, living close to Pakistans premier military academy. Even a lone wolf like Mir Aimal Kansi, who made a daring attack on operatives at the CIA headquarters, was apprehended by US agents from Pakistan. Meanwhile, the brutal killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002 while investigating links between Pakistani extremists and international terror networks remains one of the most chilling examples of terrorists operating with impunity on its soil. Pearls captors were members of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen and militants tied to Al Qaeda, groups that have long enjoyed safe havens in Pakistan. The legacy continues, and it is impossible to dismiss the role of Pakistans state apparatus, particularly the army and intelligence services, in nurturing these groups as strategic assets. In June this year, leaders associated with terror outfits were spotted at a funeral of the brother of Pakistans former strike bowler Shoaib Akhtar. Photographs that went viral showed Saifullah Kasuri, the LeT deputy chief and the mastermind of the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, Inam-ur-Rehman Kamboh, president of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), known as the political front of LeT, among others, present at the funeral. Against these backdrops, the political leaderships assurances of eliminating terrorism ring hollow. While Hafiz Sayeed and Masood Azhar remain at large, LeTs operations commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Hizbul Mujahideen commander Syed Salahuddin all operate freely, addressing rallies and mobilising support. Terrorism cannot be eliminated through rhetoric. Pakistans leaders may continue to admit past mistakes, but their credibility will remain in question as long as the terror heads roam free on its land.

'Gondhal' maker Santosh Davakhar on Anurag Kashyap's 'Oscars' remark: Watch before passing a verdict

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 23 (IANS) Santosh Davakhar, the maker of 'Gondhal', India's official entry at the Oscars, has reacted to Anurag Kashyap's 'We Select Absolutely Wrong Films'remark. On Wednesday, Davakhar recalled introducing 'Gondhal' to Kashyap on a flight. He shared that the 'Gangs of Wasseypur' maker had assured him that he would definitely watch the movie. However, Davakhar claimed that the film has neither been screened nor is it available in Mumbai. He wrote on social media, I deeply respect Anurag Kashyap Sir and his filmmaking. On the Bengaluru-Mumbai flight on 26 April at 23:55, I introduced GONDHAL to him. He said he hadnt heard of or watched it but would definitely do so. Since then, it has neither been publicly available nor screened in Mumbai (sic). Davakhar further urged all to first witness a film before passing a verdict on it. He added that they understand the responsibility that comes with representing India on a massive international platform such as the Oscars and will not let their country down. My humble request to all audiences, please watch the film before passing a verdict. Made by a debut filmmaker from outside the film fraternity, GONDHAL is a psychological thriller blending Marathi culture with global appeal. It is created for the big screen-not OTT. We understand the responsibility of representing India and will not let our country down. Please watch it in theatres upon its upcoming re-release and stand behind us as we face the world., Regards..., he went on to add. While speaking to a media platform recently, Kashyap had said that India always loses out on major award shows like the Oscars as we end up selecting absolutely wrong films. Even if we did have the chance to select the right ones like 'The Lunchbox' and 'All We Imagine As Light,' we messed it up. He added that the most important criteria for eligibility should be that the film should have gone to some international festival outside India or should have had American distribution. Gondhal should first try to get seen across festivals, advised Kashyap.

On Wednesday, Hooda shared some glimpses of posing with the National Award on social media, accompanied by his wife, Lin Laishram, and daughter Nyomica. He admitted that he was at the prestigious ceremony not just as 'Randeep Hooda', but also as Nyomicas father. Hooda dedicated the award to the team of 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar' and the viewers, who have supported him in his cinematic journey for the last 25 years. He mentioned on the photo-sharing app, When one is consumed by what one does, it becomes about doing your best from one moment to another. One is distant from the rewards besides the joy of being blessed to be able to do what consumes you. Then another moment arrives that makes you look back at what you have done. It was that moment as I stood waiting to walk up on stage to receive The National Award. This was not for me but for the team of many who worked tirelessly to bring this movie alive. It was also for the audience who have loved and supported my work for the past 25 years. (sic). It was a moment of immense joy and pride to receive it from the President of India. I wasnt just there as Randeep Hooda but as Nyomicas father and to share that moment with my family there made it even more special. With this great pat on the back, I feel so encouraged to do so much more, Hooda went on to add. Married on 29 November 2023 in Imphal, Manipur, Randeep and Lin welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on March 10, 2026.
