As for Sara Ali Khan, she was last seen in Anurag Basu’s Metro Inn Dino; the film failed to impress both critically and commercially.
Controversy before Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’s release
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do faced criticism following the release of its trailer, with many accusing it of glorifying adultery. However, the film’s cast and director later defended the project, clarifying that such assumptions were misplaced. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, director Musdassar Aziz said, “Professionally, as a filmmaker, I started my career as a writer. And a writer must allow discourse of any kind, and that’s always welcome. If people react to a trailer or film in a certain way on social media, I’m happy. Because eventually, people watch the film, and then they realise whether it’s about adultery or not. Maybe they were too quick to react, and the problem solved itself. So, why worry? If I were genuinely trying to promote adultery, I’d be concerned. But I’m not. At the end of the day, the film releases, people watch it, and they’ll see: ‘Oh, this is not about adultery, and it’s certainly not promoting it.’ As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting.”

At the film’s trailer launch, Ayushmann Khurrana had also spoken about the film promoting infidelity. He said, “My role of Prajapati Pandey is a green flag. He’s a complete green flag. His moral compass is absolutely correct. We’re not promoting any infidelity because it’s a family film. Every member will enjoy watching the film a lot. It’s just a comedy of errors. It’s not like Prajapati is in any kind of affair with someone. You’ll find out after watching the film.”
