Bandish Bandits fame Shreyaa Chaudhry has officially been cast as the female lead opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in the upcoming film 'Mupapa'. While the specific details regarding her character remain under wraps, the casting marks a significant addition to the project's lineup.
Production and Direction Details
The film is set to be directed by Sameer Saxena. It represents a major collaborative effort, produced by Akshaye Widhani (CEO, Yash Raj Films) alongside Posham Pa Pictures—a banner co-founded by Saxena, Biswapati Sarkar, Saurabh Khanna, and Amit Golani. This project marks the very first theatrical collaboration between these two production houses.
Fans of the cast will have to wait a little longer to see this duo on the big screen, as 'Mupapa' is scheduled for a theatrical release on February 19, 2027.
Ayushmann Khurrana's Current Projects
While preparing for his next big outing, Ayushmann Khurrana is currently immersed in the promotion of his latest film, 'Udta Teer', which features Sara Ali Khan. The release schedule for 'Udta Teer' has seen a recent shift; originally slated for October 9, the film is now set to hit cinemas on October 23.
A Unique Story in 'Udta Teer'
Directed by Akash A Kaushik, 'Udta Teer' is a collaboration between Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain. The film features a stellar ensemble cast including Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Sandeep Anand, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Smita Tambe.
Speaking about his role in the film, Ayushmann Khurrana described it as a return to the original, genre-defying content he is known for. He revealed that his character is a Pakistani spy who suffers from memory loss.
"In the film, I play a Pakistani spy who loses his memory; while he retains a sense of patriotism, he forgets which country he belongs to, so he ends up supporting India. It could be described as a pro-India patriotic comedy; it’s a genre-defying film that can be enjoyed with the whole family," the actor shared.
