From the Australian and Kiwi markets, the film has earned an approximate Rs 19.52 lakh and Rs 5.87 lakh, respectively, reports Bollywood Hungama. Pati Patni Aur Woh is a modern day retelling of BR Chopra’s 1978 iconic comedy of the same name. The film follows the escapades of Aaryan as Chintu Tyagi, a government employee in Kanpur, who falls in love with Tapasya (Ananya Panday) despite being married to Vedika (Bhumi Pednekar). The film also features a remix version of Govinda’s ‘Akhiyon Se Goli Maare’ (from 1998 comedy Dulhe Raja). Speaking about her role, Panday recently told _Firstpost_ , “If I’m playing ‘woh,’ it doesn’t mean I endorse extramarital affairs. It’s just a character. These days, the ‘woh’ in a relationship can be anything from the mobile phone to work life, anything that creates a rift between the married couple.” Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film will be bankrolled by T-Series’s Bhushan Kumar, and Chopra’s grandsons Juno Chopra and Abhay Chopra.
