Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rakul Preet Singh starrer Pati Patni Aur Woh Do released in theaters on May 15, 2026. Ayushmann plays Prajapati Pandey, who is living a sorted life with his wife Aparna Trivedi (Wamiqa Gabbi) until his long-lost friend Chanchal Kumari (Sara Ali Khan) makes an unexpected comeback. What follows is a complete comedy of confusion, misunderstandings and madness.
But the chaos doesn’t stop there. Aparna’s best friend and Prajapati’s colleague, Nilofer Khan (Rakul Preet Singh), gets pulled into the mess too, and just when things seem uncontrollable already, another surprise element further complicates the situation. At the centre of this wildly tangled web is ‘Praja ke pati.’
Karuppu begins with a robbery in Chennai, with events unfolding in their usual chaotic manner. As the case reaches officials, the judiciary is exposed as corrupt and firmly under the control of the powerful. Even though a few morally upright individuals stand against it, social justice remains elusive, leaving the underprivileged to suffer. The guardian deity Karuppusamy witnesses the decay of justice and takes human form as Saravanan to fight for what is right. What follows is the story of how God ensures righteousness for his people.
