Amid swirling rumors, Aamir Khan has officially announced his involvement in his nephew Imran Khan’s upcoming film “Happy Patel.” The speculation had been rife that Aamir, who launched Imran in the Bollywood sphere with the 2008 hit “Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na,” would once again collaborate with him, this time possibly launching him anew in “Happy Patel.” However, while Aamir’s participation in the project is confirmed, there’s a surprising twist regarding Imran’s role.
In a recent interview with Zoom, Aamir Khan set the record straight, revealing that he will indeed make a cameo appearance in “Happy Patel.” Contrary to earlier reports, Imran Khan’s involvement in the film doesn’t mark his comeback as a leading actor. Instead, he will also feature in a cameo role. Aamir clarified that the film’s lead role is portrayed by comedian Vir Das, hinting at a plethora of cameo appearances, including his and Imran’s. The film will be co-directed by Vir Das and Kavi Shastri and produced by Aamir Khan himself.
Aamir’s clarification sheds light on the nature of Imran’s role, tempering the anticipation for his full-fledged return to the silver screen. Nevertheless, the prospect of seeing Aamir and Imran together onscreen, albeit briefly, has reignited excitement among fans.
Imran Khan’s journey in Bollywood began with a bang, thanks to the success of “Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na.” However, subsequent ventures failed to leave a lasting impact. Imran himself attributes this downturn in his career to the lackluster performance of films like “Katti Batti,” which starred Kangana Ranaut and struggled at the box office. In addition to professional setbacks, Imran has also weathered personal challenges, including his separation from wife Avantika, with whom he shares a daughter. Despite these trials, rumors suggest that Imran has found solace in a budding romance with Lekha Washington.
As fans eagerly await Imran Khan’s return to the big screen in a substantial role, the prospect of seeing him alongside Aamir in “Happy Patel” offers a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come. While Imran may not be making a full-fledged comeback just yet, his cameo appearance in the film signals a promising step forward in his career. As the project unfolds, audiences will undoubtedly be curious to see how Aamir, Imran, and the ensemble cast bring “Happy Patel” to life on the silver screen.
