"I have worked very hard to build this credibility": Ayushmann Khurrana on audience's acceptance of family comedies

Reflecting on his journey in the genre, Ayushmann expressed gratitude for his work being embraced by the audience.

"I've been incredibly fortunate that audiences have embraced my family comedies over the years. I have worked very hard to build this credibility with the content that I have tried to pick to entertain people. I like my films to be clean, keeping in mind that an entire family, from anywhere in India, can sit down together to watch it in theatres! Maybe that's why they always show up for my family entertainers. For me, that's a huge responsibility," the actor said, as per a press release.

Referring to his film 'Pati Patni Aur Woh Do', Ayushmann explained how the story will add a contemporary twist to the narrative, promising a lot of confusion, humour and situation comedy.

Backed by T-Series and B R Studios, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 15, 2026.

Clocking in at 1 minute and 22 seconds, the teaser revisits the familiar "pati-patni-aur-woh" dynamic but raises the stakes significantly.

This time, the narrative follows Prajapati Pandey, played by Ayushmann Khurrana, who finds himself entangled not between two, but three women, portrayed by Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rakul Preet Singh.

Set against the backdrop of Prayagraj, the teaser opens with a nostalgic nod to the earlier "pati-patni" narrative before spiralling into a full-blown comedy of errors.

As misunderstandings pile up, the situation grows increasingly tangled, amplifying the film's central theme of romantic confusion.

Adding to the mayhem is Vijay Raaz, who appears as a cop interrogating Prajapati Pandey about his complicated relationships, intensifying the comic tension.

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Renu Ravi Chopra, and Krishan Kumar, with creative production by Juno Chopra.

Presented by Gulshan Kumar and B R Chopra, the project marks a continuation of the franchise's comedic exploration of relationships, now reimagined with a more complex love dynamic. (ANI)
