All About his last directorial

Happy Patel: Khatarnak

Jasoos is a Hindi comedy-spy entertainer. It features Vir Das as an unlikely protagonist who is suddenly pulled into the high-stakes world of espionage after being mistaken for a seasoned agent. What follows is a series of chaotic misadventures, as he finds himself dealing with a dangerous criminal network, armed with little more than his clumsiness and a surprising knack for getting things right by accident.

In an official statement, Vir shared his excitement about the film’s OTT release, adding that he is eager to see how audiences respond to its quirky, chaotic world and what they ultimately take away from it. He said, “Happy Patel has always been a slightly mad, self-aware ride, and I love that it now finds a home on Netflix India. There’s something special about comedy when it’s watched in your own space, it becomes more personal, more instinctive. What excites me most is that the film now gets to travel across living rooms, languages, and sensibilities. I’m really curious to see what people take away from its madness whether it’s the humour, the chaos, or unexpectedly, the heart.”

Co-starring Mona Singh, Imran Khan, and Mithila Palkar, with Aamir Khan producing and making a special cameo, the film blends satire, meta-humour, and character-driven comedy. Co-Directed by Vir Das and Kavi Shastri, the film is now poised to find a fresh wave of viewers on OTT, promising laughter, relatability, and entertainment on a wide scale.
