Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana Celebrate Dussehra at Amritsar's Golden Temple Ahead of Udta Teer Release
On the festive occasion of Dussehra, actors Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana were seen at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, where they took a moment to pray at the revered site. Their visit occurred just before the release of their new film, Udta Teer, and both stars were dressed in matching white attire as they engaged in the temple's rituals.
Sara Ali Khan shared a heartfelt photo from their visit on her social media, sending festive wishes to her followers. In the picture, both actors are captured with their hands in prayer, with Khan adhering to the site's customs by covering her head. She captioned the post, 'Happy Dussehra,' expressing her hopes for love, luck, and laughter for everyone. A video from the visit also surfaced online, showing Khan appearing quite emotional during her prayers, which has garnered considerable attention.
The visit to Amritsar coincides with the promotional activities ramping up for Udta Teer, which is set to premiere in theaters on October 23. This film marks the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik and boasts a diverse cast, including notable names like Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Mukul Dev, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Sandeep Anand, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Smita Tambe. The production is a collaboration between Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain, representing a partnership between Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment.
As the film gears up for its release, it has encountered some challenges in international markets. Reports indicate that Nepal's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has denied the film's public screening in the country. This decision came after a review by the Central Film Censor Board of Nepal, which found that the film breached Section 8(3) of the National Cinema (Production, Exhibition and Distribution) Act, 2026. Consequently, a formal notice was issued, confirming that the film would not be allowed to be shown in Nepal. Nevertheless, Udta Teer is still on schedule for its release in other regions on October 23.
