Ayushmann Khurrana reveals the iconic song 'Thande Thande Paani' convinced him to star in 'Pati Patni Aur Woh Do', alongside Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rakul Preet Singh.

"In my childhood, I used to sing the song 'Thande thande paani se nahana chahiye'. That song convinced me to do this film. - Ayushmann Khurrana"

Mumbai, May 7

Actors Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rakul Preet Singh - the lead cast of the upcoming comedy film 'Pati Patni Aur Woh Do' offered a glimpse into the film's take on relationships.

Speaking to ANI, the actors also shared intriguing details about their characters, explaining that the story equally balances humour with emotional depth.

Mentioning that he has always been a big fan of Sanjeev Kumar's 1978 classic 'Pati Patni Aur Woh', Ayushmann shared, "In my childhood, I used to sing the song 'Thande thande paani se nahana chahiye'. That song convinced me to do this film. When the first film was made in 2019, and my brother (Aparshakti Khurana) was a part of it, I really loved it. It was an organic transition for me."

Speaking about his character, Ayushmann explained how he is shown as a "trapped husband." "The audience will enjoy seeing his problems. There is a comedy of errors in this film. It is situational comedy, and the audience will understand it better when they watch the film," he added.

Ayushmann also heaped praises on his co-stars Sara, Wamiqa, and Rakul, along with director Mudassar Aziz. "It was fun working with them. Mudassar's writing is top-notch in this film," he said.

Rakul Preet Singh also opened up on how she received a call from director Mudassir Aziz.

"When he narrated the script, I found it to be such a brilliant script and such brilliant roles for everyone. It is very rare that you are laughing while listening to the script. We all laughed a lot. This is such an entertaining film," she said.

Wamiqa Gabbi, who also plays a key role in the film, shared how the atmosphere remained very comfortable on the sets.

"We had to create a chemistry. So, we were very comfortable creating those moments. There was also a comfort level with the language in Punjabi. I am so excited for people to see," Wamiqa said.

Sara Ali Khan spilt how her character is shown embroiled in her own troubles, promising a mix of confusion and comedy.

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.

Interesting that they're referencing the 1978 classic. I've seen some of Sanjeev Kumar's work — powerful actor. Hope this sequel doesn't just rely on the name but brings fresh humour. Ayushmann's track record is solid, so giving it a chance! 🌟

Sara Ali Khan as a "trapped" character? That's new for her. But I'm most excited about Wamiqa Gabbi — she's been doing some great work in Punjabi films. The cast looks fab, but the title is a bit long na? 😅

Situational comedy with emotional depth — that's exactly what we need. Too many mindless comedies these days. And Vijay Raaz and Tigmanshu Dhulia in pivotal roles? That's a masterstroke. Those actors add so much weight! Respect. 👏

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. The first Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) was okayish, not great. Hope this sequel brings something original instead of just milking the franchise. But Rakul Preet saying she laughed while hearing the script gives me hope! 🎬

Big Bollywood fan here! Mudassar Aziz's writing is usually sharp. Ayushmann and Sara — interesting pairing. And "Thande thande paani" is such a cultural touchpoint for many of us who grew up with those songs. Nostalgia factor is strong! 🤣
