About Happy Patel Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos also stars Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawade, along with special appearances by Aamir Khan and Imran Khan. Vir plays the lead role as an agent sent on a mission in India. In an interview with HT, Vir had spoken about how the film came to be. He said, "When I started pitching it, people asked how an Indian spy film would work. Then, I saw Pathaan and Tiger come and go. I realised this was becoming a "thing". Comedy is counter-culture; mainstream culture has to exist for counter-culture to exist. Now that the mainstream spy genre is the "it" genre in Indian cinema, it is time for the comedy version of it. Two years ago, maybe after Pathaan or Tiger 3, I decided to rewrite the whole script."
Meanwhile, Hrithik was last seen in War 2, which was released in theatres last year during Independence Day. It opened to mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office.
