Aamir Khan and Vir Das Team Up Again After 14 Years for the Spy-Comedy ‘Happy Patel’
Aamir Khan Productions has officially lifted the curtain on its newest film, ' Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos ,' a quirky spy caper that marks Vir Das ’s debut as a director. Not just helming the project, Das also stars in the lead role, alongside the ever-charming Mona Singh. The film hits theatres on January 16, 2026, promising a rollercoaster of humour, action, and unapologetic madness.
The announcement came via a delightfully offbeat video featuring Aamir Khan and Vir Das locked in playful banter. In typical Aamir fashion, he quizzes Das about adding action, romance, and even an item number to the film, while simultaneously fretting over how audiences might react. But as the video cuts away to others praising the project, it becomes clear that this spy film is set to break rules, bend genres, and have fun doing it.
This tongue-in-cheek promo sets the tone perfectly. The film aims to deliver a fresh kind of cinematic experience, one that blends satire, silliness, and smart storytelling. It’s a far cry from the usual spy thrillers, and that’s exactly what has fans buzzing.
For Aamir Khan Productions, 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos' is yet another step in its ongoing quest to back original, inventive stories. The studio has long championed innovative filmmaking, and this project continues that tradition with confidence.
Vir Das, globally loved for his sharp stand-up specials and roles in 'Delhi Belly', 'Go Goa Gone', and 'Badmaash Company', returns to collaborate with Aamir Khan Productions after 14 years. Armed with his signature humour and a knack for unconventional narratives, Das’s directorial debut is poised to bring a fresh lens to the spy genre.
With its promise of quirky characters, unexpected twists, and a narrative that refuses to play by the rules, 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos' is already shaping up to be one of 2026’s most anticipated releases. If the announcement video is anything to go by, audiences can expect a bold, hilarious, genre-twisting film that might just redefine what a Bollywood spy comedy can be.
