Marketing genius Aamir Khan is back in action, and this time, he’s doing it with a dose of self-deprecating humour and chaos. The latest promotional video
for Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has taken the internet by storm, featuring a hilarious twist where Aamir Khan is quite literally kicked out of a building by security guards. Packed with comedy, deception and clever meta jokes, the sketch brings together Aamir Khan, Sunil Grover and Vir Das in a setup that has left audiences laughing and sharing it widely across social media platforms.
Will the REAL Aamir Khan stand up please?
The viral promo opens Aamir being kicked out by security. So, what happened? A flashback featuring Sunil Grover dressed exactly like Aamir Khan, convincingly passing himself off as the superstar clears the confusion. In this guise, Sunil meets Vir Das and confidently predicts that his film will be a massive success and even win Oscars. Initially sceptical, Vir is unsure about accepting Sunil as Aamir.
However, things change quickly when the fake Aamir showers him with praise and hands over a hefty bonus cheque, along with promises of a sequel of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. Temptation wins, and Vir appears to buy into the illusion.
The real twist arrives when the actual Aamir Khan enters the scene, exposing the deception. Instead of backing him, both Sunil Grover’s fake Aamir and Vir Das immediately turn on the real one. In a comic reversal, Vir even calls the fake Aamir the true producer of the film. Furious and confused, Aamir calls in security to throw the impostors out. But the tables turn once again when Sunil quietly pays off the guards, who then proceed to escort Aamir himself out of the building.
