Apart from directing, Vir Das also plays the lead role in the film. The ensemble cast includes Mona Singh and Mithila Palkar, adding depth to the comedy entertainer. The film will also feature Imran Khan in a cameo, marking his appearance on screen after a long gap.

Aamir Khan’s Physical Transformation for the Film

Aamir Khan has undergone a noticeable physical transformation for the film, shedding a significant amount of weight. Speaking about it during a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the actor revealed, “Eighteen kilos, actually,” Aamir laughed as this writer reacted in disbelief. “It happened by default. The new diet I am following for health reasons is working like magic for me.”

Anti-Inflammatory Diet Helped Reduce Migraines

The actor further explained that the weight loss was not intentional but a result of a lifestyle change prompted by health concerns.

“I undertook the diet for the migraines. It is an anti-inflammatory diet. I not only lost eighteen kgs, my migraines have also reduced considerably.”

According to Aamir, the dietary shift was triggered by persistent migraine attacks, and the results have been beneficial beyond expectations.

Aamir and Imran Share Screen Space Again

Aamir will be seen on screen this Friday alongside his nephew Imran Khan in Happy Patel, a film that many are viewing as Imran’s return to acting. However, Aamir was quick to clarify, “It is not a proper comeback for Imran. Both Imran and I have cameo roles.”
