Vir Das has always been known for his sharp wit and boundary-pushing comedy, but his latest milestone comes with a twist that only he could deliver. As he gears up for his directorial debut with the spy-comedy “Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos,” the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) recently handed the film an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate.
True to his brand, Vir didn’t shy away from the rating. Instead, he took to social media to share the news with a self-deprecating joke that resonated with fans everywhere. He quipped that since he wasn’t exactly a “straight-A” student back in the day, this certificate is actually the “only A” he has ever received in his life.
The film isn’t just another comedy; it’s a high-energy “spy-verse” spoof produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The story follows Happy Patel (played by Vir Das), a clumsy, amateur spy who has failed the MI7 entrance exams a staggering seven times. Despite his lack of skills, he finds himself embroiled in a dangerous, real-world operation in Goa.
The anticipation for Happy Patel is sky-high for several reasons. This marks a reunion between Vir Das and Aamir Khan’s banner, years after their cult-classic collaboration in Delhi Belly. Perhaps most exciting for Gen Z and Millennials is the cameo by Imran Khan, marking his first appearance on the big screen in over a decade.
The cast includes talented names like Mona Singh, Mithila Palkar, and Sharib Hashmi, ensuring the film has heart alongside the humor. In a market often saturated with family-friendly comedies, the ‘A’ certificate suggests that Vir has stuck to his guns, delivering the kind of unfiltered, edgy humor his global stand-up fans adore.
With a runtime of approximately 121 minutes, the film promises a tight, roller-coaster ride of slapstick, meta-humor, and action. The film is set to release on 16th January 2026. To know such latest updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
