Shatrughan Sinha takes his play Pati, Patni Aur Main to Patna for the first time

He last performed the satirical play Pati, Patni Aur
Main, directed by Ramesh Talwar — across India and the world in 2001,
returning to it last year and now, for the first time, took it to his
hometown, Patna. Laughing at the irony, Shatrughan Sinha says, “Can you
believe it? But I have to say, it felt good to finally bring my
theatrical thunder to my own town.”
Says Shatru, “I had enjoyed performing the play in 2001 and my brief stint on stage. And I had hoped to be back. But somehow, because of my various political and film commitments, I never got around to it. In 2015, on January 19, a day after my son’s marriage, I returned to stage. I felt it was time for me to re-invent myself.”
The decision to return to the floorboards may have been Sonakshi’s suggestion. And Shotgun admits, “It’s tough. The two mediums of cinema and theatre are very different from one another. But I am up to it.”
He adds, “It felt good to perform my play in Patna. Pati Patni Aur Main has naughty lines, but no dirty humour. It is a wholesome play and we keep it updated. References to the Censor Board and all its controversies have now been added to the play. We hope it will have a longer life than any Indian play staged across the world.”

He was last seen on stage in 2001 performing in the
play Pati Patni Aur Main. Now, 14 years later, Shatrughan Sinha will be
seen returning to theatre with the same play on January 19, the day
after his son’s marriage.
He chuckles, “I guess the occasion is such that I had to do something special.”
The who’s-who of politics and showbiz world would attend the performance. Says Shatru, “I had enjoyed my brief stint on stage. And I had hoped to be back. But somehow because of my various political and film commitments I never got around to it. But now when there is much to celebrate in the family I feel it’s time for me to reinvent myself.”
Apparently, his daughter Sonakshi convinced him to return to stage. “It’s tough. The two mediums of cinema and theatre are very different from one another. But I am up to it,” ends the parliamentarian-actor famous for his oratorial skills.
