Aamir Khan Productions (AKP) has announced its latest venture, a quirky spy-comedy titled "Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos," marking the directorial debut of actor and comedian Vir Das. The film stars Das himself in the lead role, alongside Mona Singh. The movie is slated for theatrical release on January 16, 2026.

The announcement was made via a humorous video released on Wednesday, featuring Aamir Khan and Vir Das. In the clip, Khan playfully questions Das's unconventional approach to filmmaking, particularly his handling of action, romance, and even an item number within the spy genre. Khan is seen humorously reprimanding Das for what he perceives as a "flop" spy film. He pokes fun at the lack of impactful action and the unusual romantic subplot where the heroine repeatedly slaps the hero. Das jokingly defends his choices, suggesting that audiences in 2025 appreciate dominance.

The video also contains contrasting scenes of audience members praising the film, which Aamir quickly takes credit for. The banter teases the film's offbeat nature and hints at a blend of humor, satire, and genre-bending storytelling. The promotional strategy has generated buzz among fans and industry watchers.

"Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos" also marks the return of Imran Khan to the big screen.

Vir Das, known for his stand-up comedy and roles in films like "Go Goa Gone," "Badmaash Company," and "Delhi Belly," reunites with Aamir Khan Productions after 14 years. He previously collaborated with the production house on "Delhi Belly". This film represents another attempt by Aamir Khan Productions to deliver unique and creative cinema to audiences.
