Happy Patel, the upcoming film that marks the directorial debut for Vir Das, is slated for theatrical release on January 16. The spy-comedy is produced by Aamir Khan. During a recent promotional interview, Farah Khan and Vir Das reminisced their working experience on Delhi Belly, which too was produced by Aamir.
On her YouTube channel, Farah Khan recalled the experience of choreographing the ‘Jaa Chudail’ song for the dark comedy. She said, “I had choreographed the ‘Jaa Chudail’ song, which was picturised on Vir Das. It was too good. When Aamir saw the video, he got so jealous that he decided to chop half the music video. He also did it because he had his own song in the film later on.” Vir Das responded with a laugh as he recalled the makers telling him they edited the song due to ‘pacing issues.'
Vir Das also remembered how Farah Khan’s team created an intimidating aura before her arrival on sets, which is why it surprised him to finally meet Farah, who he described as ‘the sweetest person in the world.’ ‘Jaa Chudail’ was composed by Ram Sampath, who has also given music for other Aamir Khan films like Talaash and Laapataa Ladies.
Happy Patel, which Vir co-directs with Kavi Shastri, also features actors like Mona Singh, Mithila Palkar, and Sharib Hashmi in the lead cast. Additionally, Aamir Khan and Imran Khan will be seen in special cameos in the film.
