Dharma Productions released a second trailer for Udta Teer, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, on October 13, 2026; the film opens October 23.
What Happened
Dharma Productions released a second trailer for the Hindi spy comedy Udta Teer on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, ten days before the film reaches cinemas on October 23. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan and is the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik, who also wrote it. It is produced by Dharma Productions with Sikhya Entertainment. The new promo, launched with the tagline "Ek teer, Sau confusion!", leans harder on comedy and plot twists than the first trailer, which came out in September.

Why It Matters
Releasing a second trailer close to release is a sign that a studio wants to reset or sharpen a film's pitch. The first Udta Teer trailer introduced the premise; the new one, according to coverage of the launch, puts more weight on humour and confusion, the elements most likely to pull families and young audiences into theatres during the festive season.
The premise itself is a gamble. A spy thriller built around a Pakistani agent who forgets who he is and starts believing he is on India's side plays with a sensitive subject for comedy. Handled well, mistaken-identity stories can be broad crowd-pleasers; handled poorly, they can draw criticism. How audiences take the tone will decide the film's run.
The film also matters for the careers of its leads. The film pairs Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in an action-comedy, and it is a first-time director's mainstream release for Dharma Productions.
Its release falls in the festive season, when several films compete for screens, which makes word of mouth in the first weekend important.

For viewers deciding whether to book early, the two trailers together give a fair idea of the mix on offer: a fish-out-of-water spy story told mainly for laughs, with action mixed in. Reviews after the release will show whether the jokes land and how carefully the film handles its cross-border premise.
Impact
Short-term: The new trailer sets up the final ten days of promotion before the October 23 release, with the cast expected to step up publicity.
Long-term: Its box-office result will indicate whether audiences have an appetite for comedy built around espionage and identity, and could shape similar genre films.
Who is affected: Moviegoers, cinema chains planning festive screens, the film's cast and crew, and Dharma Productions.
Key Takeaway
Udta Teer's second trailer, out on October 13, plays up comedy and twists ahead of the Ayushmann Khurrana-Sara Ali Khan film's October 23 release.
