Bollywood icon Aamir Khan's production house has set the stage for a laughter-filled espionage adventure with the official announcement of a new film titled 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos'. The project marks a significant milestone as the directorial debut of popular comedian and actor Vir Das, who also stars in the lead role. The makers unveiled the news through a humorous announcement video and a teaser, simultaneously locking in a theatrical release date.
A Hilarious Announcement: Aamir Khan Roasts Vir Das
The film's reveal on Wednesday was anything but ordinary. The announcement clip featured Aamir Khan, often called 'Mr. Perfectionist', in a comedic roast session with first-time director Vir Das. The video perfectly established the quirky, 'hatke' (unique) tone promised for this spy comedy.
In the exchange, Aamir humorously interrogates Vir about the film's content. When questioning the action sequences, Aamir asks, "Where is the action?" Vir defends his film by saying there is beating involved, to which Aamir retorts, "The whole film in which you are getting beaten up, that is action?" He even jokes that Vir should have stuck to stand-up comedy.
The banter extends to the romance track, with Aamir sarcastically questioning if a scene where the hero gets slapped constitutes romance. The duo also shares a laugh about the item number, with Aamir revealing that Vir ended up being the 'item girl' of the film. The playful jabs hit a peak when Aamir suggests the film might flop, prompting Vir to cheekily bring up Aamir's own film 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. The mood shifts when the film's crew enters, showering the project with praise and leaving Aamir thoroughly impressed and excited.
Star-Studded Cast and 90s Nostalgia
Following the announcement video, a short teaser offered glimpses of the film's world. It showcases Mona Singh in a never-seen-before avatar. Interestingly, the teaser also features Imraan Khan and a long-haired Aamir Khan, evoking a strong 90s vibe. This uncle-nephew duo appears to be making a special cameo, potentially harking back to their collaboration in the cult hit 'Delhi Belly'.
Mark Your Calendars for the Release
The makers have confirmed that the spy comedy 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos' is scheduled to arrive in cinemas nationwide on January 16, 2026. The film promises to blend the genres of spy thriller and comedy through a distinctly Indian lens, spearheaded by Vir Das's fresh directorial vision and backed by Aamir Khan Productions.
