Vir Das Shares Hilarious Post With Bollywood’s Iconic Spies Ahead of Happy Patel Release

Vir Das’ much-awaited film Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, produced by Aamir Khan, hit theatres on January 16. The spy-comedy marks the stand-up star’s directorial debut, adding another feather to his cap after memorable performances in Delhi Belly, Go Goa Gone, and Badmaash Company.

As part of promotions, Das has been entertaining fans with witty posts, humorous replies to reviews, and quirky videos featuring Aamir Khan. But one post stood out — an AI-generated picture showing him alongside Bollywood’s most famous spies: Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, Salman Khan’s Tiger, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, and Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir.

Sharing the image, Das joked: “Nervous, not sure if I fit in. Hope you’ll go see #HappyPatel in theatres. And mad respect to these legends for setting culture.” The tongue-in-cheek post quickly went viral, leaving fans in splits.

Excitement around the film is palpable, with audiences praising the comedy and showing up in large numbers. One fan wrote, “In my city, many urban centres are seeing full night shows. Hoping you see a good jump on the weekend.” Another commented, “Tiger, Kabir & Pathaan watch out for this new entrant, Happy Patel.” Early reviews have also been positive, with viewers calling it engaging and fun.

About Happy Patel

The film follows Happy Patel, an unlikely spy who is clumsy, impulsive, and hilariously unprepared for dangerous missions. Played by Vir Das, the character navigates chaotic situations, laugh-out-loud moments, and sharp satire — offering a refreshing twist on the spy genre that prioritizes humor over slick action.
