NEW DELHI: Bollywood actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan face a significant setback as their upcoming film ‘Uda Tair’ has been banned from screening in Nepal just days before its scheduled release on October 23, 2026.

The ban comes amid concerns over the film’s content, which has reportedly sparked controversy among local authorities.

While specific reasons for the ban have not been disclosed, sources indicate that the film’s themes may not align with cultural sensitivities in the region.

The filmmakers have expressed disappointment, emphasizing their commitment to storytelling that resonates with diverse audiences.

This development raises questions about the impact of censorship on artistic expression in South Asia.

The film industry, already grappling with various challenges, may face further scrutiny as regional authorities tighten control over content deemed inappropriate.

This could set a precedent for future releases, potentially stifling creativity and limiting the diversity of narratives available to audiences.

As the release date approaches, the filmmakers are expected to explore legal avenues to challenge the ban.

Industry insiders suggest that a public campaign may also be launched to rally support for the film, highlighting the importance of artistic freedom in cinema.
