Ayushmann Khurrana on Pati Patni Aur Woh Do
The Pati Patni Aur Woh franchise traces its roots to the 1978 classic starring Sanjeev Kumar, and Ayushmann told PTI that he’s now delighted to be a part of the cinematic legacy. The actor who starred in numerous comedies such as Vicky Donor, Badhaai Ho, Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan, Bareilly Ki Barfi, and Dum Laga Ke Haisha calls the genre the ‘bread and butter’ of Indian cinema.
The actor said, “I think comedy is the bread and butter or the staple genre for Indian audiences. It can never be out of fashion. Every season, there has to be one comedy film. Every year, there has to be one defining comedy film.” He also added, “We’re very fortunate to be a part of this beautiful story. I’m saying beautiful because comedy is the toughest genre. We’re glad that we’re part of this.” Pati Patni Aur Woh Do received mixed reviews upon its release.
