The shoot of highly awaited movie Pati Patni Aur Woh 2, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, and Wamiqa Gabbi, came to a dramatic halt when there was a violent scuffle on the set. A member of the crew was said to have been attacked by locals while shooting in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, prompting police action and the arrest of the prime accused.
The attack occurred on August 27 when the team was shooting a car scene on Thornhill Road in Prayagraj. The Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Abhijeet Kumar stated that a team of locals brutally assaulted Zoheb Solapurwala, production head of BR Chopra Films. This attack spiraled out of control as crew members were physically attacked by a group of people.
An FIR was registered on the next day, August 28, at Civil Lines Police Station following a complaint lodged by BR Chopra Films’ line producer Saurabh Tiwari. The accused, whose name is Meraj Ali, was arrested subsequently, police confirmed.

Footage of the scuffle promptly went viral on social media, with two men seen confronting a member of the crew in the middle of a shoot. The exchange remained verbal at first, but soon got out of hand as locals joined in, physically assaulting members of the film crew.
A few onlookers tried to calm the situation, but the fight had already resulted in damage, physical and to the morale of the crew. The producers of Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 as of yet have not issued a statement concerning the incident.
