Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos Trailer Out: Vir Das’ Spy Comedy Looks Wildly Fun

Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos Trailer Out: The much-awaited trailer of Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos has dropped online and Bollywood fans are loving the madness it brings. Released on Aamir Khan Talkies’ official YouTube channel, the film is directed by Emmy-nominated comedian Vir Das and produced by Aamir Khan. Slated for a theatrical release on January 16, 2026, the trailer hints at a playful, offbeat spin on the spy genre that feels fresh and self-aware.

Vir Das’ World

Marking his directorial debut, Vir Das also steps into the lead role as Happy Patel, a confused yet ambitious desi spy dreaming big on an international stage. The trailer shows him juggling unrealistic spy fantasies, violent situations, Goa Police troubles, and unexpected romance. Mithila Palkar adds charm and humour to the story, while Vir’s Bob Dylan-inspired look quietly becomes one of the trailer’s standout elements.

Star-Studded Cast

Adding more weight to the film is its strong ensemble cast, featuring Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi, and rapper-turned-actor Srushti Tawade. But the biggest cheer online is reserved for Imran Khan’s return to the big screen after more than a decade. Best remembered for Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, his comeback has instantly pushed the film into the list of most anticipated releases of early 2026.

About Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos

Co-directed by Kavi Shashtri and co-written by Amogh Ranadive, the film leans heavily into bilingual humour and sharp satire. It cleverly flips the popular “India is not for beginners” meme, portraying the country as a space that embraces chaos, confusion, and comedy. Set largely in Goa, the film promises local flavour, bold writing, and an irreverent tone that may remind audiences of cult favourites like Delhi Belly.
