'Happy Patel' has been trending on social media after Imran Khan's 'mamu', Aamir Khan, shared a video about the same. Is Imran Khan all set to make his Bollywood comeback?
Comedian, Sunil Grover has always hogged the limelight for his comedy acts. The actor knows to go skin deep into his character, and has recently mimicked Aamir Khan. Since then, Sunil has taken the centre stage with one of the latest promos for Vir Das' directorial debut, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, which is buzzing on social media. It was on the sets of The Great Indian Kapil Show when Sunil Grover and Aamir Khan's face-off went completely viral.
In one of the new promotional clips released for Happy Patel, Sunil's comedic dynamics have completely changed. He was seen impersonating Aamir Khan right in his own office. The encounter has immediately gained a lot of fame among fans. As shown in the clip, Vir Das enters the office, and Sunil Grover acts exactly like Aamir Khan. Vir questions his own authenticity and is then convinced by Sunil's performance. The comedian calls the movie, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos a hit and gives two cheques to Vir Das. Now, the question is, who is 'Happy Patel'?
The makers of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos had dropped the trailer where Vir Das was shown to play the role of an amateur spy and a fictional character named, 'Happy Patel'. He is shown to have failed to enter the MI7 in his life seven times. 'Happy Patel' does not know that he is of Indian origin, and then is sent on a mission to India. 'Happy' is then seen landing in Goa and navigating with an accent which is anglicised and is seen making fun of. 'Happy Patel' falls in love with Mona Singh as he is head over heels smitten by the actress. She plays the role of 'Mithila' who sla** him for touching her. She is seen playing a kingpin who is confronted by 'Happy'. Aamir Khan is also shown in a sketchy but eccentric avatar.
Bollywood actor, Imran Khan had taken an 11-year break from the Hindi film industry. The actor who is selective about his projects is all set to make his comeback with Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. The movie is set to release on January 16, 2026, and Imran's involvement in the film has already created a lot of excitement among his sea of fans. It was Imran who had approached Vir for a cameo in his directorial debut movie. Imran shared a screenshot of his conversation with Vir, where the actor revealed hearing good stuff related to the movie. He said, "Any place I could cameo, you think?” The screenshot dated back to February 12, 2024, had Vir saying:
"Let me fine something cool. Ima make sure it’s insane and fun. Let me design something cool and come at you in a few days. If we’re doing it’s gotta pop and be funny as f***.True story! We thought of the maddest thing and made Imran do it in #HappyPatel. January 16th you get to see him and I can't wait! This is the actual screenshot from Feb 2024.”
Imran Khan had taken a break from the limelight after his last movie, Katti Batti. He is now making a comeback with Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. The actor was once upon a time the hearthrob of Bollywood and was known for his movies such as Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. His return in Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has created a lot of anticipation as his fans have missed his chocolate boy screen presence.
Vir Das who plays 'Happy Patel' is seen navigating tough situations while the Goa police is after him. A user seeing the antics of 'Happy Patel' commented, "A Few days back, I was reminded of how I haven't watched anything like Delhi Belly and Go Goa Gone in a decade or so. Now, this trailer looks like DB and GGG had a kid. AKP is producing good cinema. Sitare ZP and now this. Tired of the Jingoistic and masala crap." Another user commented, "Gaonwalo alert! Chef by skill, spy by chance, hero by destiny! Maybe dhamaka." Another user on X wrote, "A week ago, only I watched Delhi Belly again and wished to see the same cast and chaos again. See, God listened to me. I'm God, just kidding. All the best, guys, lots of Hope."
For the unversed, Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi, Mithila Palkar, and Srishti Tawde apart from Imran Khan and Vir Das are a part of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. The latest promo of the movie showcased Vir Das and Sunil Grover, who played the fake Aamir Khan gang up against the real Aamir Khan. The actor is seen being angry and calls his security guard.
