Why is Aamir Khan beating up Vir Das in new video?

WEB DESK: Everyone knows that Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is Mr Perfectionist but who would have thought he would resort to beating him an old colleague and actor Vir Das? But this should not raise any alarms because in a recent video released on his Instagram, Khan is promoting Das’s directorial debut Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, which is a spy comedy under his production banner.

The unconventional announcement was made through a humorous video featuring Khan and Das in a playful exchange. In the clip, a seemingly concerned Aamir questions Vir’s creative choices for the film, including its approach to action and musical numbers, while the background showcases exaggerated praise for the project. The contrasting tones promise a fresh and quirky cinematic experience.

The film will star Vir Das alongside Mona Singh. This collaboration reunites Das with Aamir Khan Productions after their previous work on the cult hit Delhi Belly. Known for his global stand-up specials and roles in films like Go Goa Gone and Badmaash Company, Das now steps behind the camera for this venture.

Aamir Khan Productions has a celebrated history of delivering unique and impactful stories, from Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par to Dangal and Secret Superstar. Happy Patel continues this tradition of distinctive storytelling.

Produced by Aamir Khan Productions and directed by Vir Das, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is scheduled to hit theatres on January 16, 2026.
