‘Happy Patel’, directed by Vir Das and presented by Aamir Khan Productions, releases on 16th January 2026!

Finally, Aamir Khan Productions’ quirky spy film Happy Patel has been announced. Marking #VirDas’ directorial debut, the film stars Vir Das and Mona Singh. As fun and interesting as the title sounds, the makers have unveiled the film with an even funnier announcement video featuring #AamirKhan and Vir Das.

The announcement of Happy Patel has been made in the most unconventional and humorous way. In the video, Aamir Khan is seen questioning Vir Das’ approach to showcasing action, romance, and even an item number in the film. While Aamir appears worried about how the audience might react, the video simultaneously shows others praising the film. This contrast in their conversation makes the entire announcement incredibly entertaining. It’s safe to say that a very different kind of cinema is on its way.

Moreover, Aamir Khan Productions has always ventured into unconventional storytelling with utmost finesse. Having delivered remarkable films like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par, Dangal, and Secret Superstar, this marks yet another attempt at presenting unique cinema. Interestingly, they are collaborating with the renowned stand-up comedian Vir Das, who has not only performed globally with his acclaimed comedy specials but has also acted in films like Go Goa Gone, Badmaash Company, and Delhi Belly. This film marks Vir’s second collaboration with Aamir Khan Productions after Delhi Belly.

Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Happy Patel will be directed by Vir Das and is slated to release in theatres on 16th January 2026.
