Female characters with dignity: Mudassar Aziz on whether Pati Patni Aur Woh Do promotes adultery
A journey that began in the discipline of screenwriting and gradually found its voice in direction. Along the way, he has seen the highest of the highs with features like Happy Bhaag Jayegi and Pati Patni Aur Woh, while also weathering the inevitable challenges of films that did not resonate at the box office. Yet, undeterred by the vicissitudes of the industry, he returns with yet another comedy of errors, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do. Yet another star entertainer, led by Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and Wamiqa Gabbi. And yet another attempt to explore new creative possibilities within a familiar framework. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Aziz addresses the allegations that the film promotes adultery, reflects on the art of reimagining remakes, the box office failures of his previous works, and discusses his commitment to writing women characters with agency.
