Unperturbed by the dismal performance of her last film Sonchiriya (2019), Bhumi Pednekar is looking forward to the exciting lineup of her upcoming movies. She recently wrapped up Anurag Kashyap’s next production venture Saand Ki Aankh with Taapsee Pannu. And now, the actress is preparing for her next Pati Patni Aur Who, which is an official remake of BR Chopra’s 1978 blockbuster film of the same name.
Talking about the comic-caper, Pednekar says that it is fresh, hilarious and boasts of good content. “Pati Patni Aur Woh is a cracking script! It is fresh, it is hilarious and, most importantly, it’s good content which is something that audiences want to see today.”
This is the first time when Bhumi Pednekar has teamed up with Kartik Aaryan for a film. Aaryan, who has delivered blockbusters like Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) in the past, is known for his great comic timing. “He owns the space and his comic timing is just great. He has a lot of energy on screen and that is something I resonate with. So, I think we will vibe well and it is going to be quite cracking with him,” says Bhumi.
Since Karthik and Bhumi are teaming up with the first time, the audience is expecting a lot from their fresh pairing. When asked if that mounts any pressure on her, the actress says, “If there is curiosity about how our pairing will be on screen, it’s a great thing. I hope we will deliver to the expectations that people have and do justice to our pairing and our roles. Any actor would love to have expectation behind him or her because that propels us to do better and deliver more on screen.”
Also starring newcomer Ananya Panday in the lead role, Pati Patni Aur Woh is being helmed by Mudassar Aziz of Happy Bhag Jayegi (2016) fame. The movie is scheduled to enter cinemas on 6th December, 2019.
