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.

Udta Teer team fondly remember Mukul Dev at trailer launch; Ayushmann Khurrana SIGHS, We SADLY underutilized him; Aakash Kaushik assures, This is Mukul Devs BEST work!

Earlier this month, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report that Udta Teer will be the last film of the deceased actor, Mukul Dev. The actor died in May 2025 at the age of 54. Today, the trailer of Udta Teer was launched in the presence of Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, producers Guneet Monga Kapoor, Achin Jain and Apoorva Mehta and director Aakash Kaushik, and they spoke highly of Mukul Dev. Interestingly, the trailer prominently shows the talented actor, and it was quite appreciated. Ayushmann Khurrana said, Mukul Dev was one of the brightest, most brilliant talents in our country. There was a film named Omerta (2018). It was his brainchild. We sadly underutilized him. In Udta Teer, you'll see him for the last time. This is like a swan song; it's a tribute to Mukul Dev! Aakash Kaushik revealed, He used to call me and ask, 'Yaar, jab yeh picture aayegi na, toh log kya bolenge mere baare mein?'. All I can say is that this is not only his last film but actually his best work! We say that with a lot of responsibility. Unhone literally chaar chand lagaye hai iss picture ko. So, Mukul sir, wherever you are, we love you and miss you. I promised you that poora Hindustan aapke gunn gaayega aur woh hoga. That's my promise to him and to you all. You'll love his performance! In our earlier report, we carried a quote from a source who said, A major chunk of Udta Teer was shot in 2024, and thats when Mukul Dev filmed his portions. His character has a face-off with Ayushmanns character. His track is not only funny but also action-packed and forms an important part of the narrative. As always, Mukuls performance is spot-on and is sure to be loved by the audience. Udta Teer releases in cinemas on October 9.

Suhail Nayyar reveals physical transformation for Udta Teer: The character required a certain physicality

Suhail Nayyar is set to take on a different screen avatar in Udta Teer, the upcoming spy comedy directed by Akash A. Kaushik. The actor, who shares screen space with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the film, has revealed details about the physical preparation he underwent for his role. Nayyar plays a spy in Udta Teer, with the character described as layered and complex. For the part, the actor underwent a physical transformation that included building muscle and sporting a moustache, a look that marks a departure from his previous appearances on screen. The actor trained regularly during the preparation process and followed a protein-heavy diet as he worked towards developing the physicality required for the character. He also spent time watching spy thrillers to familiarise himself with the genre. His preparation included shows such as The Family Man, Special Ops, The Night Manager and Fauda. Speaking about the experience, Suhail Nayyar said, Udta Teer gave me a chance to play a completely different, never-seen-before avatar. The character required a certain physicality, so I trained every day, changed my diet and worked towards gaining muscle for the part. The moustache added another layer to the transformation. I also worked quite a bit on the dialect because I wanted it to feel natural and rooted in the character. Beyond the look and voice, there are a lot of layers and complexities to him, but hes also a lot of fun. Aakash has made a really fresh spy comedy, and Im very grateful to Guneet, Achin and Dharma Productions for trusting me with this role. Ayushmann is brilliant at what he does and just as lovely off screen. We had a great time working together. Udta Teer features Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the lead, marking a new on-screen pairing. The film takes the spy genre into a comic setting, revolving around an unwitting operative whose misadventures disrupt a high-stakes intelligence operation. The narrative combines action with situational comedy and features a globe-trotting backdrop involving double agents and unexpected turns. Produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the film has music composed by Sachin-Jigar. Udta Teer is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on October 9, 2026.

Manoj Bajpayee is funny, inspiring and there are no starry airs about him, says Last Man In Tower co-star Swaroopa Ghosh

Actor Swaroopa Ghosh has opened up about her experience of working with Manoj Bajpayee in Last Man In Tower, describing the collaboration as a deeply rewarding experience. She praised the actor for his ability to create a comfortable working environment while also bringing a rare intensity and spontaneity to his performances. Sharing her experience working with Manoj, Ghosh said, It was a great honour to work with him. He's funny, he's very inspiring, and there are no starry airs about him. I could just be myself and do whatever I felt was right for the character, and he would respond accordingly. I believe that is quite rare in this industry. Everyone I have worked with has been kind to me, but with Manoj it was different. We were absolutely in sync, and that gave me a lot of confidence. He brings out emotions without saying anything, with just a look and his body language. She recalled a sequence where he calls out to the birds in the sky. They took multiple takes, and every single take was brilliant. It was not a regular line, and I was just mesmerised. For Ghosh, the experience appears to have stood out not just because of Bajpayee's craft, but also because of the ease and trust he brought to their scenes. Her comments highlight how an actor's ability to respond organically to a co-star can create a strong sense of collaboration on set. She also pointed to Bajpayee's ability to communicate emotions without relying heavily on dialogue. His use of expressions, looks and body language left a lasting impression on her, particularly during the sequence involving the birds. Last Man In Tower brings together Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta and Boman Irani in a story that explores human relationships and conflicts. For Ghosh, working alongside Bajpayee became an opportunity to experience first-hand the spontaneity and emotional depth he brings to a performance.

'Afsaana Banaaya Aapne' drops: Emraan Hashmi, Himesh Reshammiya and Aditya Datt reunite for the romantic track from Gunmaaster G9

Nearly two decades after their songs became the soundtrack to a generation, Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya have reunited for Afsaana Banaaya Aapne, the latest song from Gunmaaster G9, directed by Aditya Datt. Written and composed by Himesh Reshammiya and sung by Himesh and Asees Kaur, the romantic track brings Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh together on screen. The brief portion of the song featured towards the end of the films teaser had already created considerable excitement among fans, who were waiting to hear the full track. Director Aditya Datt said, We worked on the music for more than eight-nine months. We all sat together, we jammed, we created and we wrote. That whole process has been superb. We really wanted to enjoy the music and make something we love. Deepakji has been instrumental in bringing us together, so we have to give him that. Emraan Hashmi said, There is a lot of nostalgia attached to Himesh, Aditya and me coming together again. But the idea was never to recreate the past. Afsaana Banaaya Aapne has its own emotion and its own place in Gunmaaster G9. That is what makes this reunion exciting. Genelia Deshmukh said, The song plays at a crucial point in the film and it spells magic. This is the first time I am teaming up with Emraan and what better way to do it than a Emraan and Himesh number in a film. Himesh Reshammiya said, The tracks of Gunmaaster G9 are completely in sync with the world of the film, but the audio value is taking the soundtrack to another level. To compose such great, audio-friendly tracks while being true to the story was a task. But God has been kind to bless me with these melodies as a singer and composer. Working with Aditya is always a pleasure, as he has a great understanding of music. Deepak Mukut said, Emraan and Himesh coming together again is special because their music has a history with the audience. Afsaana Banaaya Aapne brings that familiar combination into a completely new film and to a new generation. With Afsaana Banaaya Aapne, Gunmaaster G9 brings back a combination that once defined an era of Hindi film music, while placing it within a contemporary action-romance. Starring Emraan Hashmi, Genelia DSouza, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Singh, Gunmaaster G9 is produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir, and presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. Directed by Aditya Datt, the action romance is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026.

Speaking about what drew her to the show and her decision to return to television fiction, the actor said, Maya is not just a character or an imagination. She is a very practical character that I am going to play in Sayoneee. And as an actor, I wouldnt deny that I received many offers, but I turned them down because I didnt feel connected to the stories or the characters that were coming my way. Every artist wants to play a character that is beautifully written. I wasnt looking for a comeback on television; I was looking for a purpose. Sargun and Ravi are doing amazing in television as producers, Uttam Bhelavat is an amazing director. Sometimes we dont know people who are working behind the camera, but they are the ones who will actually help you to reach out to the right audiences and all. Good, I waited for long, and, you know, its good to be honest to your emotions also, kyunki impulsive decisions I have never taken. Janhavi Soni plays Saanvi, a warm and nurturing woman whose kindness does not prevent her from standing up for what she believes in. Speaking about her character and working with Rashami Desai, Janhavi said, Saanvi is warm and nurturing, but her kindness should never be mistaken for weakness. She has the courage to stand up for what she believes is right and keeps her promises even when they come at a personal cost. Working with Rashami maam has made this journey even more special. She is incredibly warm and generous as a co-actor, and through Sayoneee, I have also found a wonderful friend in her. Gautam Singh Vig, meanwhile, plays Aditya, whose relationship with Saanvi is built around companionship and support rather than the conventional idea of a hero rescuing the woman he loves. Explaining his characters role in Saanvis journey, Gautam said, Is Aditya Saanvis hero? No, he is not her hero; he is her Sayoneee. A hero tries to fight your battles for you, while a Sayoneee simply stands by you as you win them yourself. Aditya respects Saanvis choices and gives her the space to find her own answers. His love is steady, secure and rooted in equality, and that is what makes him a true ally and a green flag. Sayoneee follows Saanvis journey as she searches for the mothers love she has always longed for, while Aditya becomes a supportive presence as she finds the confidence to face her own battles. Rashami Desais Maya forms another important part of the story.

Fatima Sana Shaikh on feminism, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and playing a cop in Hunkkaar: The Roar

Fatima Sana Shaikh has spoken openly about feminism and why she continues to identify herself as a feminist. Ahead of the release of Hunkkaar: The Roar, in which she plays a police officer investigating a sexual assault case, the actor also credited Priyanka Chopra Jonas for embracing the label while continuing to enjoy a strong male fan base. Speaking about why she calls herself a feminist, Fatima said, Feminism is treated like a bad word by a lot of people. It's shocking that there are actresses who say they aren't feminists. By being a feminist, I'm not snatching away a man's rights. I'm just asking for equal rights for myself, says Shaikh. The actor also pointed to Priyanka Chopra Jonas as an example of someone who has openly identified as a feminist without it affecting her connection with audiences. Priyanka Chopra calls herself a feminist and has a huge male fan base. If your intention is clear and you aren't dumb about it, people will listen to you. In Hunkkaar: The Roar, Fatima plays a determined police officer who investigates a case involving a minor, played by Aneet Padda, who accuses a spiritual guru of sexual assault. The actor described working on the series as one of the most enriching experiences of her career, particularly because of the way her character and performance were approached by the makers. The upcoming Hindi crime thriller also stars Aneet Padda, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Arjun Mathur and Raghubir Yadav. The series is directed by Nitya Mehra and Karan D. Kapadia and produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment in association with Purple Pebble Pictures and Mangata Films. Hunkkaar: The Roar is set to premiere on JioHotstar on September 25, 2026.
