Aamir Khan Unveils Murderer Avatar as Jimmy in Happy Patel

Aamir Khan has been unveiled as Jimmy in the upcoming Hindi film Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a spy action-comedy directed by Vir Das. The film marks Imran Khan's return to the big screen after a decade-long hiatus and is produced by Aamir Khan Productions. Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is set to hit theaters on January 16, 2026, and promises to be a satirical spy action-comedy exploring new terrain in Bollywood cinema with plenty of comedy, action, drama, and twists.

The filmmakers shared a glimpse of Aamir Khan's character, Jimmy, on January 1, 2026. In the clip, Jimmy replies, "Doing murder," when asked what he's doing, and laughs innocently. However, in the next clip, he appears menacing while shooting a gun. The film's tone leans more toward satire and humor than traditional espionage thrills, making it a quirky spy comedy.

According to the trailer and announcements, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos follows Happy Patel, an incompetent yet eager spy, as he finds himself in funny, action-packed, romantic, and chaotic situations. Director Vir Das revealed that he approached Aamir Khan three years ago with the film's concept, and Aamir Khan's involvement was crucial to the project's success.

Aamir Khan's production company is behind this ambitious project, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. With its unique blend of comedy, action, and drama, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is likely to be one of the most talked-about films of the year.
