ACTOR Ayushmann Khurrana addressed concerns around infidelity in the film, asserting that the upcoming comedy does not endorse such themes and is designed as a wholesome family entertainer. Responding to questions about the storyline, Khurrana clarified that while the narrative revolves around complex interpersonal dynamics, it avoids promoting extra-marital relationships. He said, "Yeh film inn charun ke beech mein kya chal raha hai uspe hai. At the same time, I think yeh jo mera role hai Prajapati Pandey ka... He is a green flag. He is a complete green flag, uska moral Compass bilkul correct hai... We are not promoting any infidelity because it is a family film. Everyone will enjoy watching it. It is just a comedy of errors. Ismein aisa kuch nahi hai ke Prajapati ka kissi ke saath affair hai. Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai..." (This film is about what's happening between these four characters. At the same time, I think my role, Prajapati Pandey... he is a green flag. He is a complete green flag; his moral compass is absolutely correct. We are not promoting any infidelity because it is a family film. Everyone will enjoy watching it. It is just a comedy of errors. There is nothing in it that suggests Prajapati is having an affair with anyone. There is nothing like that at all.) When asked about balancing socially sensitive themes with family-friendly storytelling, Khurrana underlined the responsibility he feels as both an actor and a parent. "It is a very big responsibility.

 

Being a family man, I feel that I should make a film that my kids can watch. In fact, I took my kids to this edit. They really loved it. So, that's my barometer. A benchmark is set there. If the kids like the film, it becomes like a wholesome family film. And Pati Patni Aur Wo Do is the same film. Where everyone will enjoy it. It will be fun. It will be a good, fun, comedy film. People will watch it," he said. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is set to bring back the charm of classic situational comedy with his upcoming film Pati Patni AurWoh Do, which draws inspiration from the golden era of Hindi cinema. The family entertainer taps into a storytelling tradition rooted in misunderstandings, character-driven humour, and layered narratives that have long resonated with audiences, as per a press statement. Speaking about the film, Ayushmann said in the statement, "Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is a situational comedy in its purest, most classic form. The idea traces its roots back to the legacy of Sanjeev Kumar. I have been a big fan of his work. Humour from films of that era emerged from misunderstandings, timing, and character dynamics.

 

I've always admired that style of storytelling, seen in timeless films like Padosan, Chupke Chupke, Angoor and Gol Maal. They are a laugh riot and I'm hoping Pati Patni Aur Woh Do will also be the same for people." He further credited director Mudassar Aziz for shaping the film's tone. "With this film, Mudassar Aziz has crafted something that carries forward that spirit of clever writing in cinema that celebrates comedy of errors beautifully. This is an out and out family entertainer meant to be enjoyed together, where the comedy comes from a series of errors and misunderstandings," he said. Calling it a nostalgic throwback, Ayushmann added, "It's a throwback to a time when storytelling was simple, clean, and genuinely funny and that's exactly what we've tried to recreate here. I'm a big fan of such cinema and it was truly refreshing for me to see someone wanting to make that kind of film and celebrate the simplicity of emotions." Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do stars Khurrana alongside Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles. The film also features Vijay Raaz, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Ayesha Raza, and Durgesh Kumar in pivotal parts. The theatrical release scheduled for May 15, 2026. ■
