A wave of nostalgia washed over fans as Aamir Khan, Imran Khan, and Vir Das reunited, marking a special moment for admirers of the cult classic Delhi Belly and generating buzz for the upcoming film, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. The reunion, which took place on December 23, 2025, at the Veda Kunba Theatre in Mumbai, was more than just a press conference; it was a "family reunion for the misfits who changed Indian cinema".
Imran Khan's return to the screen after a decade-long hiatus has been a major talking point. His last appearance was in the 2015 film Katti Batti, and fans have eagerly awaited his comeback. The reunion and his cameo in Happy Patel have ignited a frenzy among fans, who are thrilled to see him back in action. Many express that they are happy that he is doing a fun film.
Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, directed by and starring Vir Das, is a quirky spy-comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film is slated to release in theaters on January 16, 2026. The trailer offers a glimpse of Imran Khan in a never-seen-before avatar, adding to the excitement surrounding his return. He plays a "wild character" involved in an aerial action sequence with Vir Das.
Aamir Khan also joins the fun with a cameo in Happy Patel, playing a character named Jimmy, a murderer. This adds another layer of excitement, as it marks a reunion of sorts for the Delhi Belly team. The last time Aamir Khan and Vir Das collaborated was in Delhi Belly, with Imran in the lead.
The event in Mumbai on December 23rd was organized by Single Handedly (Laksh Maheshwari) & DIY Solutions. Besides Aamir, Imran and Vir Das, the reunion was attended by Akshat Verma (writer), Abhinay Deo (director) and Ram Sampath (composer) from Delhi Belly, alongside Mithila Palkar and Mona Singh. Mentalist Suhani Shah and comedian Jeeveshu Ahluwalia also gave key performances.
The reunion has been described as nostalgic and chaotic, with Imran's chemistry with Vir Das being a particular highlight. Seeing Imran relaxed, laughing, and "roasting the crew" gave major "Tashi" flashbacks, referencing his character from Delhi Belly. Aamir, usually known as the "perfectionist" producer, was seen as just a fan of his own product, vibing with the team.
