Vir Das and Aamir Khan
Vir Das recently opened up about how he managed to convince Aamir Khan to produce Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos. He revealed details about his meeting with Aamir Khan for his upcoming directorial debut film. He shared how a superstar backs a project when he truly believes in it.
How Aamir Khan came on board Happy Patel
Recalling the moment, Vir revealed that Aamir had been placed on such a high pedestal that approaching him felt slightly daunting.
Vir said, “He is on such a high pedestal that you don’t really communicate much with him. I hadn’t spoken to Aamir sir for almost 10 years. Then I messaged him saying, ‘Aamir sir, can I call you?’ He replied, ‘Yes, call now.’ And when he picked up, it felt like we speak every week.”
Vir went on to reveal how candidly he pitched his film to Aamir Khan, “So I told him, ‘Sir, I have a film with me and I want you to make it. If you don’t make it, no one else will.’ He said, ‘Okay, come next week and give me the narration.’ I have never seen a superstar who is so accessible and gives you a meeting so quickly.
I gave him the narration, and after that, there were nine more narrations. His main concern is always the script. After nine narrations, he said, ‘Take some money and shoot five scenes.’ I did the test shoot, and then he said, ‘Go on floors.”
About the film
The trailer of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has taken the fun to another level. As both director and actor, Vir Das brings a refreshing brand of quirky comedy that is sure to deliver plenty of laughs.
The trailer showcases Vir Das in a never-before-seen avatar as a perfectly imperfect spy on a mission. As the story unfolds, he lands in trouble, leading to a lot of chaos that looks absolutely fun. Mona Singh certainly stuns with her raw avatar, unlike anything she has portrayed on screen before, while Mithila Palkar adds her own distinct charm. Aamir Khan’s completely different avatar brings an extra punch to the narrative. Packed with energy, charm, a youthful vibe, a lot of twists and surprises, the trailer is nothing less than a rollercoaster ride of fun and madness.
Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Happy Patel stars Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi and Mithila Palkar in pivotal roles and is slated to release in theatres on 16th January 2026.
