Imran Khan had earlier confirmed his comeback project. He is set to play the character of Happy Patel in a lively comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. Described as a laughter-filled venture, the film combines familiar elements with a fresh setting, reminiscent of Imran's earlier works. Sources suggest that filming for the movie has already begun in Goa.

An industry insider stated that Imran finalized his return to acting about eight months after hinting at a comeback last year. The actor will portray the lead role in Happy Patel, a quirky comedy under Aamir Khan Productions. The film is said to be a laugh-riot, set in a world that mirrors Imran’s previous filmography but with a unique twist. The source also confirmed that the shoot is currently underway in Goa.

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, who was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, is reportedly in advanced discussions with South Indian director Lokesh Kanagaraj for a pan-India film. Although neither the actor nor the director has confirmed the collaboration, discussions are ongoing between Aamir, Lokesh, and Mythri Movie Makers. If all goes according to plan, an official announcement regarding the film is expected soon.
