Imran Khan talks about cameo in Happy Patel

In a candid conversation with NDTV, Imran Khan expressed, "My part is a cameo that came from a place of FOMO (Fear of missing out). True story—Vir was developing the project. And as he was moving through the stages of development, various friends of mine were getting attached. It started, of course, with my uncle (Aamir Khan) getting attached as a producer. And I would hear little snippets here and there. And then Mithila, who I got to know because we acted together in Katti Batti—we've remained friends over the years. And she was telling me a lot of fun stuff about the way the project was going.”He concluded with, "Then and there, I texted Vir. So this particular film is one that I joined just because all my friends were there and doing something that looked like fun.”
