After almost eight months of speculation about his return to the big screen, Imran has officially confirmed his comeback project. He is set to play the character of Happy Patel in a lively comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions.

According to the source, Imran Khan has finally confirmed his comeback project after almost eight months of speculation. He will play the lead role as Happy Patel in a quirky comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film promises to be a laugh-riot, set in a familiar yet uniquely fresh world, reminiscent of Imran’s previous works. Shooting has already begun in Goa.
Vir Das, known for his role in the successful 2011 black comedy ‘Delhi Belly’, is making his directorial debut with this film, marking a new chapter in his 17-year acting career. While he has previously worked on an unreleased web series as a director and showrunner, this upcoming movie will be his first feature film directorial venture. Mona Singh, recognized for her performances in popular films like ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, has a significant role in the movie. The casting for the female lead character is still under wraps, and while there are rumors of Aamir Khan making a cameo appearance, official confirmation is pending.
Happy Patel has become Imran’s chosen comeback project after the shelving of his initially planned web series with Abbas Tyrewala. The web series was supposed to feature Imran as an intelligence officer in a Disney+Hotstar espionage thriller centered on the South Asian counter-intelligence world. However, due to the merger between Reliance Industries and The Walt Disney Company, the project was postponed, much to Imran’s relief. He expressed his contentment with the cancellation, stating his preference not to portray characters who rely on guns to solve problems. Happy Patel seems to be the perfect project for Imran’s return, promising viewers a delightful and engaging experience akin to the charm of his earlier successful films that continue to resonate with audiences today.
