In Udta Teer, Ayushmann plays Bilal Ahmed, a Pakistani intelligence agent who suffers memory loss following an explosion while on a mission in India. After losing his memory, Bilal begins to believe that he is Indian and even thinks he is an officer with India’s Counter-Terrorism Squad. The identity mix-up forms the basis of the film’s humour, action and political satire.
