The film 'Udta Teer' utilized advanced AI technology to incorporate dialogue from the late actor Mukul Dev following his passing. Director Aakash A Kaushik revealed that AI was used to add Dev's voice, specifically for lines mentioning the 'Operation Sindoor' event from May 2025. This creative decision was made after the incident occurred, requiring a tweak to Dev's original dialogue.

Kaushik shared deeply personal and fond memories of Mukul Dev, describing his infectious laughter and unique way of connecting through voice notes. The director confessed to still listening to these messages, which capture Dev's enthusiasm for the project.

Filming for 'Udta Teer' largely took place in 2024. The incorporation of 'Operation Sindoor' into the film's narrative and Dev's dialogue highlights the innovative approaches taken by the filmmakers. Despite the challenges posed by Dev's absence, the team found a way to integrate his performance, ensuring his voice would be heard in the completed film.
