Quotes
Ayushmann Khurrana
Bollywood actor and Udta Teer lead
“It was part of the script (referring to ‘Pakistan zindabad’ dialogue). As an actor, you are ready to do anything. This is a spy comedy, it is a patriotic comedy, it is a genre bender. I do what the script demands, I’m a director’s baby. It is a fantastic script.”

“It is the most difficult character because things were happening around him. I had to have that straight face; though there were moments when I felt like laughing but I couldn’t. I had to be normal while there was chaos happening around me.”
