Vir Das on Imran Khan Being Cast in Happy Patel: “Can I Come and Do Something Fun in The Film?”

While recalling the moment, Vir said, “One day, I got a text from Imran. He doesn’t even use WhatsApp… The message said, ‘Hey, I hear the movie is shaping up nicely. Can I come and do something fun in the film?'” The message, according to Vir, came as a pleasant surprise. He was also surprised that Imran wanted to be a part of the project, given his selective approach to movies and his general distance from the spotlight in recent years.

Vir also shared that once Imran expressed interest, he felt compelled to do justice to the actor’s willingness to step back into a film set. “After he reached out to me, I went back and incorporated him into the script of Happy Patel… I was like, yes, definitely, but then give me some time. I’ll craft a character for you that is entertaining and wild and we need to do something you’ve never attempted before,” he noted.

The trailer of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has taken the fun to another level. It features several entertaining and quirky moments and promises a thoroughly entertaining film. As both director and actor, Vir Das brings a refreshing brand of quirky comedy. As per the makers, the movie is full of energy, charm and a youthful vibe. The trailer further heightens the excitement for the film’s release.
