Locals beat up crew of 'Pati, Patni aur Woh 2' starring Ayushmann and Sara: Reports

An unfortunate incident has marred the ongoing shoot of the film "Pati Patni Aur Woh 2" in Prayagraj, where a scuffle reportedly broke out between the film crew and locals. Viral videos from the scene show a chaotic situation where a verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of the cast and crew, as the makers have yet to release an official statement regarding the unfortunate events.

According to the videos that are circulating online, the incident began when a local approached a crew member who was filming a car sequence. The situation quickly got out of hand as more people joined in, leading to a brawl. The footage captures the tense moments before police officials intervened to de-escalate the situation and bring it under control.

Some reports and social media accounts claim that the person who was physically assaulted might have been the film’s director, although this remains an unverified rumor. The incident, which disrupted the shoot, has also sparked a debate online about the lack of adequate security arrangements for film crews shooting in public locations.

In a separate video also from the sets, the film’s lead actors, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, are seen having a heated argument while sitting in a car. While some viewers initially speculated it was a real-life disagreement, it has been widely clarified that this was a scripted scene being shot for the film, with the actors portraying their characters' roles.

As of now, neither the makers of the film nor the actors have issued any official statement regarding the incident. The silence from the production team and cast has led to further speculation and has kept the exact reason behind the altercation unclear. The police, however, have intervened and are said to be managing the situation.

The film, a sequel to the 2019 comedy "Pati Patni Aur Woh," stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles, with Wamiqa Gabbi also in a pivotal role. The 2019 film was a hit and starred Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday. The sequel aims to take the franchise forward with a new cast and a fresh narrative.
