Ayushmann has built a career with comedy-drama films like Bala, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, and more. Speaking with Mathrubhumi English, the actor cited his past film choices and how he has always consciously chosen progressive cinema throughout his career. He said, "I have always been part of progressive cinema."

He added, "I will never be part of a film that is regressive. We are not glorifying infidelity with 'Pati Patni Aur Woh Do'. It's more of a comedy of errors." The actor even went on to call his character Prajapati Pandey in the film a "green flag" husband who genuinely loves his wife. He shared that the film revolves around confusion, humour, and misunderstandings between four characters and does not promote infidelity.
