With ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’ hitting theaters on May 15, Ayushmann Khurrana celebrates an unexpected but meaningful relationship with Aamir Khan and the golden age of Hindi situational comedy. The family entertainer, directed by Mudassar Aziz, features the classic song ‘Aaj Na Chhodunga Tujhe Dum Duma Dum’ from Aamir’s 1990 hit film ‘Dil’, and Ayushmann says the connection feels both accidental and completely valid.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Ayushmann Khurrana has long drawn inspiration from Aamir Khan’s comedy outings, and made no secret of his admiration while talking about Pati Patni Aur Woh Do.He said, “I am a huge fan of Aamir Khan, and I especially love his comedies and the way he dabbles in the genre of situational comedy! I feel Aamir is a true master of this genre along with everything he does on screen. So, I would love to have an Aamir Khan connection in my film PPAWD! It happened by chance, and I’m glad it happened.”The decision to include the nostalgia track was entirely driven by how well it served the story. “When we were making ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’, we wanted a song that would fit seamlessly into the funny world and theme of the film. We found the song ‘Aaj Na Chhodunga Tujhe Dum Duma Dum’ from Aamir sir’s film ‘Dil’ and it was perfect for the situation my character is going through in the film,” he said.
