Actor and comedian Vir Das is making his directorial debut with Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a spy comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film also brings back Imran Khan to the big screen after almost a decade, which has added even more excitement. The promo video released by the makers has caught attention for its fun and unusual style. It shows Aamir Khan scolding Vir Das for the way he has made the film, from the action to the romance to the lack of an item number. Vir replies with a sharp joke related to one of Aamir’s recent films, which leads to a comic fight. Soon after, people who have watched the film enter and praise Vir, and Aamir quickly tries to take credit.
What makes this even more interesting is how the promo reminds viewers of the early promotions of Delhi Belly. That film had a refreshing and bold style that broke away from the usual pattern of Hindi films. The new promo feels similar in its quirky tone and playful self awareness. Since Vir, Aamir and Imran last worked together in Delhi Belly in 2011, people are hoping this reunion can bring back the same sharp and funny energy. Bollywood has not seen a strong black comedy for a long time, and Happy Patel looks like it might fill that gap. With its unusual tone and the return of a popular team, the film seems promising ahead of its release on January 16, 2026.
