Vir Das' Directorial Debut Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos Set for January Release

Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, directed by and starring Vir Das, is an upcoming spy comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions, set to release on January 16, 2026. The film features a mix of comedy and action, with appearances by Aamir Khan, Imran Khan in a cameo marking his return after a decade, Mona Singh, Mithila Palkar, and others. Promotional activities include viral videos of Sunil Grover's mimicry of Aamir Khan, which the actor enjoyed. The film received an 'A' certificate from the CBFC, and the Madras High Court granted anti-piracy protection ahead of its release. Vir Das described the film as a counter-culture project that subverts typical NRI tropes, while also humorously comparing it to other Bollywood comedies. The production has generated anticipation due to its ensemble cast, creative promotions, and the reunion of key collaborators from Delhi Belly.
