EXCLUSIVE: Late Mukul Dev to be seen one last time in Ayushmann Khurrana-Sara Ali Khan starrer Udta Teer
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
A source told Bollywood Hungama , “A major chunk of Udta Teer was shot in 2024, and that’s when Mukul Dev filmed his portions. His character has a face-off with Ayushmann’s character. His track is not only funny but also action-packed and forms an important part of the narrative. As always, Mukul’s performance is spot-on and is sure to be loved by the audience.”
Adding to this, Udta Teer is headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan. It was scheduled to rollout on September 11 but was then pushed to October 9. It’s a joint collaboration between Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Guneet Monga Kapoor’s Sikhya Entertainment after Kill (2024), Gyaarah Gyaarah (2024) and The Lunchbox (2013). With Udta Teer, the makers are venturing into the spy-comedy genre, promising a mix of action, humour, and entertainment.
Meanwhile, The movie is directed by Akash A Kaushik, who makes his directorial debut with the project. Udta Teer also marks the second collaboration between Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan. Interestingly, their first movie together, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (2026), also rolled out earlier this year.
Notably, Mukul Dev was born in Delhi and trained as a pilot from the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi before he found his calling in acting. He started by acting in television serials and around the same time, he landed a role in Mahesh Bhatt’s Dastak (1996).

As per the latest buzz, On May 23, 2025, Mukul Dev passed away after being hospitalized for around a week. Around a month after his demise, his younger brother, star Rahul Dev, told Bombay Times, “He was in the ICU for eight and a half days. Medically, it was a result of poor eating habits. In the last four-five days, he had stopped eating altogether. Of course, he felt lonely, and he had lost interest in life. Usko zindagi jeene ka jazba nahi tha . He would turn down several work offers.”
