The filming of "Pati Patni Aur Woh 2," starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, has been making headlines recently, not just for the on-screen chemistry of the lead actors, but also due to some off-screen disturbances. The movie, which is slated for a 2026 release, is considered a spiritual sequel to the 2019 film "Pati Patni Aur Woh" and a continuation of the 1978 classic of the same name.
Recent reports indicate that the film crew faced an unexpected challenge while shooting in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Videos circulating online show a scuffle between the film's crew and some local residents. According to reports, the conflict escalated, leading to physical altercations, with some crew members allegedly being attacked. While the exact reasons for the brawl remain unclear, videos show police intervening to de-escalate the situation and ensure the safety of the cast and crew. The filmmakers have not yet officially confirmed the details of the incident.
Adding to the buzz surrounding the film, a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video of Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan has also gone viral. This video seems to show a heated argument between the two actors inside a car. However, it has been clarified that this is likely a scene from the movie and not a real-life squabble between the actors. The presence of police personnel in the video suggests that it was filmed as part of the movie with security measures in place.
"Pati Patni Aur Woh 2" features Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Abhishek Banerjee, and Rakul Preet Singh. The film is directed by Mudassar Aziz, who also directed the 2019 remake. Unlike the 2019 film, which had two female leads, "Pati Patni Aur Woh 2" will feature three. Wamiqa Gabbi will play the role of the wife ("Patni"), while Sara Ali Khan will be the girlfriend ("Woh"). Ayushmann Khurrana will portray a middle-class man navigating the complexities of marriage and an extramarital affair.
The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Juno Chopra's B.R. Studios. The original "Pati Patni Aur Woh" was remade in 2019 starring Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday. The sequel, however, promises an original story told from a female perspective.
