Similarly, for our upcoming project Pati Patni Aur Woh, we reached out to many actors, who we thought could be our potential protagonists in the film.

For the uninitiated, prior to the producers' statement, Taapsee, in interaction with Mumbai Mirror, shared that the entire incident has been an eye-opener for her and that she deserves an answer. She detailed that the director, Mudassar Aziz, first narrated the script to her and she assumed that she was the first choice. Taapsee shares that when Mudassar wasn't given a reason, she tried to speak to the producers but they kept "putting the conversation off.

She was quoted as saying, "After moving my dates, I think it would have been better if I was informed about the development instead of finding out about it from others. I deserve an answer. This is disheartening.
