Hrithik Roshan praises ‘Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos’, Vir Das replies!

Backed by Aamir Khan Productions, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos emerged as one of the most awaited releases of 2026. Positioned as a quirky spy comedy, the film stars Vir Das, Mona Singh, and Mithila Palkar in pivotal roles, while also marking Vir Das’ directorial debut. Following months of strong anticipation driven by its trailer and songs, the film finally hit theatres to largely positive word of mouth and encouraging box-office momentum.

Amidst this, while Hrithik Roshan also praised the film, writing,

“Very very entertained by HAPPY PATEL.
Congrats VIR.
The ingenuity of mixing incredible silliness with a relentless screenplay was so much fun to watch!”

Replying to this, #VirDas also expressed his gratitude to Hrithik Roshan by taking to his social media and writing –

“❤May every comedy lover and first time Filmaker find a star like you. You are magic on screen and it falls on all of us smaller sillier spies too! Thank you🙏
