The Bollywood sequel Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, directed by Mudassar Aziz, has experienced a postponement from its originally planned release. This film, serving as a follow-up to the 2019 comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh, is now scheduled for theaters on May 15, 2026. The adjustment accommodates essential post-production tasks, including the refinement of song sequences, to uphold the project’s standards.
Production Background
Produced by T-Series, with Bhushan Kumar and Renu Ravi Chopra as producers and Juno Chopra as creative producer, the sequel expands upon the original film’s success. The 2019 predecessor, which featured Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday, generated over INR 117 crore in worldwide earnings and received acclaim for its witty portrayal of contemporary marital issues.
Development commenced in mid-2025, with principal casting revealed by July of that year. An official announcement in October 2025 included the initial poster and a targeted release date of March 4, 2026, coinciding with Holi festivities.
