Is Ayushmann Khurrana stepping into the lead for the Pati Patni Aur Woh sequel a flashpoint in casting politics? The chatter around this move splits into merit vs. nepotism vibes, with fans debating whether he’s the right fit for an action-forward project or better suited to his signature, relatable cinema [1].

Casting fit — Some say he can carry a film with the right plot, while others insist he’s not an action-hero type and should stick to the kind of stories he’s known for [1]. A line that sums the tension: a lead must gel with the film’s world, not just the star’s name. Another voice even argues he totally fits an action-hero lane if the script lands [1].

Lead dynamics vs. the three-heroine trope — Several comments push back on the idea of three heroines, emphasizing plot over star power and reminding us that cinema is a team effort, not a solo act [1].

Cross‑industry echo with Rakul Preet Singh — The conversation widens to cross‑industry careers, with remarks about Rakul Preet Singh: crores earned, a high‑profile Bollywood‑Telugu mix, and the reality of industry mobility (Bollywood vs. Tollywood) shaping perceptions of merit and fit [2].

This snapshot shows how casting politics now blends star power, script suitability, and cross‑industry momentum into one ongoing discussion [1][2].
