Vir Das turns director with Aamir Khan-backed spy comedy ‘Happy Patel’

Mumbai, Dec 3: Superstar Aamir Khan on Wednesday announced “Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos”, a quirky spy comedy which marks the directorial debut of actor-comedian Vir Das.

The film, starring Das alongside Mona Singh, will be released in theatres on January 16, 2026.

The project was unveiled through a humorous announcement video featuring Khan himself. It was posted by the actor’s banner Aamir Khan Productions.

“From ‘Kya BANAYA’ to ‘KYA BANAYA’. Get ready for a wild ride of comedy, action, romance, and some spy stuff as well. ‘Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos’, in theatres only from January 16, 2026,” the studio posted.
