Vir Das takes on the role of Happy Patel, a blissfully clueless spy, diverging from the typical espionage characters in Indian cinema. The film, 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos,' co-written and co-directed by Das, aims to flip traditional spy narratives on their head with its light-hearted and comedic tone.

This underdog production features a star-studded cameo by Aamir Khan, renowned for his production prowess, and marks Imran Khan's return to the silver screen after a decade. Despite its modest budget, the film seeks to bring a fresh comedy approach to audiences accustomed to hard-edged thrillers.

'Happy Patel' challenges today's hyper-masculine culture through silliness and humor. As Das explains, the character represents a unique perspective on masculinity, one that embraces foolishness and laughter. The absurdity is emphasized by a catchy track, 'Main hoon alpha male,' cementing Patel's persona as a new kind of hero.
