Conceptual insight
The concept of 'Mr. & Mrs. Mahi'; actors' next releases
In an interview with News18, Sharma revealed that the initial idea was inspired by the traditional Indian practice of prohibiting wives from working post-wedding and wondered what would happen if a bride married into a family that encouraged her ambitions. MAMM marks the second collaboration between Rao and Kapoor, following the horror comedy Roohi. Next, Rao is awaiting the release of Stree 2 on August 15, while Kapoor will be seen in Ulajh on August 2.
