Aamir Khan vs Vir Das: Epic Roast in Happy Patel Promo You Can’t Miss
Aamir Khan Productions has announced its next venture, Happy Patel, marking a significant milestone for comedian-actor Vir Das, who will be making his directorial debut with the film. The announcement came alongside a quirky promo video that has already generated widespread excitement. The film also marks the acting return of Imran Khan, adding to the buzz.
In the announcement video shared on Vir Das’ official Instagram, Aamir Khan humorously scolds Vir Das, saying, “You think getting beaten up is action? Your idea of romance is getting slapped by the girl? I requested one item number, you have done it yourself!” Aamir continues to chide Vir, jokingly declaring, “This film will be a flop,” while Vir cheekily references Laal Singh Chaddha, further angering Aamir. The promo then teases glimpses of the film, featuring Imran Khan and Aamir, evoking nostalgia as a Delhi Belly reunion.
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan recently gave an update on his long-awaited Mahabharat project, calling it a spiritual and creative endeavor decades in the making. Speaking on Game Changers with Komal Nahta, he revealed that internal preparations are underway, with scripting expected to begin in the next two months. Aamir described the scale of the project as a “yagna,” emphasizing the depth of effort and dedication involved in bringing the epic to the screen.
Vir Das, who continues to explore diverse creative avenues, recently expressed his interest in directing a horror film after watching Zach Cregger’s Weapons. Sharing his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), he praised the innovation in contemporary horror filmmaking and said the experience reaffirmed his desire to direct a proper horror film.

Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt’s Airport Romance Will Make Your Day
Recently, Aamir Khan was spotted walking hand in hand with his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, at the airport, and the video soon went viral. The actor was casually dressed and arrived with Gauri as they returned to Mumbai, smiling for the paparazzi. Aamir had confirmed his relationship with Gauri during his 60th birthday celebrations in March 2025. She has her roots in fashion and production and first met Aamir about 25 years ago. Years later, the two met again, and they began dating in 2024. Aamir has always seemed really committed to Gauri and, in earlier interactions, had said, “I already feel married to her in my heart. It doesn’t matter if the wedding happens or not.”
During the 56th International Film Festival of India, Aamir spoke about transparency in box office numbers. He said that film collections needed to be in the public domain, like in the U.S., and that he is disturbed by how numbers have started becoming the measure of a film’s worth. “Really, this needs to be transparent. What are we hiding?” he said, underscoring that there is no need to keep collections under wraps and that the audience needs to have this information to judge the success and failure of a movie.
Also, Aamir spoke about his much-discussed Mahabharat project, a film he has been outlining for over two decades. Terming it both a spiritual and creative enterprise, Aamir called the film the most ambitious project of his lifetime. Preliminary work has already begun internally, and he expects the scripting to start within the next couple of months.
He even termed the scale of this project as a “yagna.” That defines the depth and dedication he is putting into bringing the epic tale to life. Fans are truly waiting to hear more on this ambitious cinematic venture that promises to be a landmark in Aamir’s career.
This airport outing with Gauri and updates related to his professional projects showcase a fine balance in the way Aamir manages his personal life with his long-term creative commitments to keep fans interested on all fronts.
Palash Muchhal’s Masked Visit to Premanand Maharaj’s Ashram Raises Eyebrows
Palash Muchhal has once again grabbed attention after being spotted at spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in Vrindavan, just days after his highly publicized wedding with Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana was postponed. The music composer was seen sitting among devotees, wearing a mask, with traces of wedding mehendi still visible on his hands. He was accompanied by his mother.
The sighting comes amid intense public scrutiny of the couple’s relationship, with rumors swirling online since the wedding was unexpectedly called off. Smriti and Palash had been scheduled to marry on 23 November in Sangli. However, hours before the ceremony, Smriti’s father suffered a sudden health issue and required hospitalization, forcing the families to postpone the wedding indefinitely. Shortly afterward, Palash was also admitted to the hospital due to stress-related complications. Both were later discharged, with families emphasizing that the postponement was solely due to medical emergencies.
Despite these reassurances, the couple’s silence fueled online speculation, ranging from rumors of a rift to claims of infidelity. Over the weekend, some social media posts suggested the wedding had been rescheduled for 7 December. Smriti’s brother, Shravan Mandhana, quickly dismissed these claims, telling Hindustan Times, “I have no idea where these dates are coming from. As of now, the wedding is still postponed.”

At present, no new wedding date has been announced. Smriti remains by her father’s side during his recovery, while Palash has maintained a low profile, apart from his recent spiritual visit. Neither has publicly addressed the online speculation, leaving fans awaiting an official update.
