BOMBAY TIMES (January 19, 2019)

A while ago, two of India’s leading production houses — T-Series and B R Studios — had announced their plan to join hands for multiple films. Well, the first film to go on floors as part of the deal is Pati Patni Aur Woh, which stars Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday.

An adaptation of B R Chopra’s 1978 drama with the same title, the movie will see Kartik sharing screen space with Bhumi and Ananya for the first time. The shoot of the film, directed by Mudassar Aziz, will commence in February.

Producers Bhushan Kumar, Juno Chopra and Abhay Chopra, whose last joint production venture was Bhoothnath Returns (2014), are glad to have come together once again. Bhushan Kumar of T-Series says, “We enjoyed great synergy with B R Studios when we worked on Bhoothnath Returns, and we are happy to produce Pati Patni Aur Woh with them. Juno, Abhay and Mudassar have given an interesting tweak to the story, which matches today’s times. Kartik, Bhumi and Ananya are talented new-age actors and they add their spark to the story. We have worked with Kartik in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) and we are glad that we are working with him again. Bhumi has already proven what a fantastic actor she is. Ananya is new, but the audience will fall in love with her. The film will also have great music.”

Juno Chopra of B R Studios says, “We are happy to associate with T-Series and Bhushan Kumar for this film. Pati Patni Aur Woh was widely accepted when it was released, and we believe that the subject still has the power to draw the audience to the theatres. We have treated it with a modern touch and have a fantastic team to take our vision forward.”
