"I'm playing her father in Happy Patel," reveals Aamir Khan as he reunites with former on-screen mother Mona Singh in Happy Patel

Aamir Khan hilarious role reversal with Mona Singh sparks buzz around Happy Patel

Aamir Khan has delighted fans with a revelation that instantly lit up social media. In a moment filled with humour and nostalgia, he shared that he will once again be appearing on screen with Mona Singh—only this time, in a completely unexpected way.

After she memorably played his mother in Laal Singh Chaddha, the tables have now turned: Aamir will be playing her father in the upcoming spy-comedy Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. It’s a role reversal that has already sparked affectionate laughter among audiences who have cherished their earlier onscreen dynamic.

This movie comes at a time when Mona Singh's acting career is really taking off. She has consistently dazzled audiences in recent years with performances that are genuine, nuanced, and profoundly human.

She now enters the light-hearted, erratic realm of Happy Patel, adding yet another thrilling chapter to her creative journey, following the excitement surrounding The Bads of Bollywood.

Vir Das, who is renowned for his razor-sharp wit and fearless comedic sensibilities, is making his directorial debut with this movie. Vir creates a world where espionage is more about comedic chaos than clandestine operations by bringing his signature humour to both acting and directing.

With Mona as the emotional anchor and Vir steering the madness, the film promises a refreshing break from formulaic spy stories.

Aamir, who features in a key role while also backing the film through Aamir Khan Films, shared the much-talked-about casting twist with evident amusement.

“Happy Patel is coming in January. It is a comedy film. It features Vir Das and Mona Singh. Mona Singh is the one who played the role of my mother in LSC (Laal Singh Chadha), now I am playing her father in Happy Patel.”

This unexpected reunion adds a touch of playful irony to the project, and fans are already looking forward to watching how the two talented performers reinvent their chemistry in a brand-new context.

As Mona continues to choose roles that challenge her and allow her to explore completely new shades, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos arrives as a film filled with promise—warm, witty, and wonderfully offbeat.
