In a candid conversation filled with revelations, choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan disclosed that superstar Aamir Khan shortened the popular item song 'Jaa Chudail' from the film Delhi Belly out of professional jealousy. This bombshell was dropped during Farah's recent visit to actor-comedian Vir Das's home, where they discussed Vir's upcoming directorial debut, Happy Patel.
Secrets Spilled During a Home Visit
The interaction, which took place on January 12, 2026, saw Farah Khan and Vir Das reminiscing about their past collaborations. Vir Das, who is set to direct Happy Patel under Aamir Khan Productions, revealed that his film draws inspiration from Farah's hit movies like Om Shanti Om and Tees Maar Khan. He even placed his film in the same league as the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, a comparison that led Farah to shock him by revealing that the Aamir-Salman starrer was actually a box office flop upon release.
The Jealousy Behind the 'Jaa Chudail' Edit
The conversation then took a playful yet revealing turn. Farah Khan, who choreographed the energetic 'Jaa Chudail' number for Vir Das in Delhi Belly, decided to "spill another secret." She called Vir's wife, Shivani, to confirm her involvement and then stated, "It was too good, but Aamir Khan cut it short out of jealousy because his song was coming next."
When Vir Das countered that he was told the edit was due to pacing issues in the film, Farah responded with a sarcastic, "Yeah, sure," implying the real reason was different. She also praised Vir, calling him "a great dancer" and recalling the fun they had shooting the song.
Wearing Aamir Khan's Leather Pants
Another hilarious secret emerged about the song's costume. Vir Das reminded Farah that she had put him in leather pants for the shoot. Farah laughed, also mentioning the curly hair wig. Vir then dropped his own revelation: "And those were Aamir's pants." A shocked Farah asked how he fit into them, to which Vir joked, "I had to wear something extra…"
Wrapping up the light-hearted expose, Farah joked, "Aamir, we are exposing a lot of your secrets."
Looking Ahead to Happy Patel
The core reason for the meeting was Vir Das's directorial debut, Happy Patel, produced by Aamir Khan Productions and slated for release on January 16. The film also marks the significant return of actor Imran Khan to the big screen. The promotional banter between Aamir and Vir, where Aamir playfully slaps him, was also referenced, with Farah quipping that Aamir slaps hard because Vir often hurts him with his words.
This reunion of talents from Delhi Belly has not only unveiled some behind-the-scenes secrets of the cult film but has also generated significant buzz for the new collaboration in Happy Patel.
