The trailer of Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos is out, and early reactions suggest the film has already found favour with audiences online. Released on the official YouTube channel of Aamir Khan Talkies, the trailer offers a playful and satirical spin on the spy genre, leaving fans intrigued and eager for more.
Marking Vir Das’ directorial debut, the film features the comedian-actor in the lead role as Happy Patel, a self-styled international spy whose big dreams clash with messy realities. The trailer shows Happy stumbling through violent encounters, facing trouble with the Goa Police and dealing with an unexpected romantic twist. Mithila Palkar stars opposite Vir Das, bringing lightness and charm to the story, while his distinctive straight-haired look adds a quirky edge to the character. Aamir Khan’s spirited appearance further heightens curiosity around the project.
Set largely in Goa, the film leans into bilingual humour and sharp satire. Co-directed by Kavi Shashtri and co-written by Amogh Ranadive, it plays on the popular “India is not for beginners” idea, turning it into a celebration of chaos, confusion and comedy. The supporting cast includes Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawade, adding depth to the narrative.
One of the biggest talking points, however, is Imran Khan’s return to films after more than a decade. Best known for Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, his comeback has added to the film’s growing buzz. Social media is already filled with excited reactions, with fans calling the trailer “insane,” “fun,” and a potential “laugh riot.” Produced by Aamir Khan and slated for a January 16, 2026 release, Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos is shaping up to be a much-anticipated start to the new year.
