Taran Adarsh confirmed the offer on X (formerly Twitter), stating:

About ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’: A Love Triangle with a Comic Twist

Can ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ Overcome Box Office Competition?
The film faces stiff competition from Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chhaava’, which continues its strong box office run. Additionally, recent flops like ‘Emergency,’ ‘Fateh,’ and ‘Loveyapa’ suggest that audiences are becoming selective about new releases.
While the advance bookings aren’t promising, the film’s comedic storyline, star power, and promotional offers could help it gain traction over the weekend.
Will ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ turn into a sleeper hit or struggle at the box office? Stay tuned for the opening weekend verdict!
