If there's ever a "Seinfeld" reboot, count Larry David out. "Seinfeld" launched the comedian's career in the '90s, earned him two Emmy Awards and cemented his status as a Hollywood mainstay, but he'd rather go to prison than do another season.

A Comedy of mistaken identity

Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in a scene from Udta Teer. The story revolves around a Pakistani intelligence operative who loses his memory following an accident in India.
