Aamir Khan Productions has officially announced its next project, a spy film titled ‘Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos’ (Happy Patel: Dangerous Detective). The movie is set to deliver a mix of action, thrills, comedy, and romance.
Acclaimed stand-up comedian Vir Das will make his directorial debut with the film. Das is also cast in the lead role, starring alongside actress Mona Singh.
The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on January 16, 2026. This announcement serves as an early New Year’s gift for fans.
The film was unveiled through an engaging announcement video, which was shared on Aamir Khan Productions’ official Instagram account. The video prominently features both Aamir Khan and Vir Das.
In the clip, Khan expresses humorous concerns about the film’s potential to flop. This leads to a comedic interaction where Vir Das directly references Khan’s previous film, "Laal Singh Chaddha," prompting a mock physical altercation from Khan.
The video cleverly uses contrasting reactions, with others enthusiastically praising the film. Khan eventually embraces Vir Das and takes credit for the project after witnessing the positive feedback.
Vir Das is internationally recognized for his stand-up comedy. He has also featured in Bollywood films such as Go Goa Gone, Badmaash Company, and Delhi Belly.
This new spy film marks Das’s second collaboration with Aamir Khan Productions, following his role in Delhi Belly. The announcement video also hinted at an item number featuring Vir Das in the upcoming movie.
