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.
