'Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos' is a quirky, offbeat spy, which also stars Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawade, along with special appearances by Aamir Khan and Imran Khan.
Vir Das is in the lead role as an agent sent on a mission in India.
The trailer hilariously shows Vir Das's character failing to assemble a rifle while also forgetting to include the trigger. It was followed by a confidential mission assignment in Goa. Unknown to the culture and traditions of India, Vir Das faces numerous problems, ranging from being tortured by Mona Singh's character to fighting Imran Khan in a slow-motion aerial battle.
Aamir Khan also plays a cameo in the movie.
The film is produced by Aamir Khan under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions.
'Happy Patel' opened in theatres on January 16, 2026. (ANI)
