Imran Khan's Shocking Comeback Text to Vir Das
6 Jan
Summary
- Imran Khan returned to acting after a decade-long hiatus.
- He reached out to director Vir Das via a simple text message.
- Vir Das rewrote parts of the script to accommodate Imran.
After a decade away from the spotlight, actor Imran Khan is set to make a significant comeback in the film "Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos." This upcoming movie is being directed by and features Vir Das, who revealed the surprising way Khan was cast. Khan, known for his roles in romantic comedies, had taken a sabbatical following the 2015 film "Katti Batti."
Das shared that Khan reached out to him directly with a text message, inquiring about a role in the film. This unexpected initiative prompted Das to revisit and rework the script, crafting a distinctive and entertaining character specifically for Khan. This collaboration marks a notable moment for both actors, especially given their prior work together on "Delhi Belly."
This comeback follows recent reports in April 2025 that Khan would be returning to cinema with a Netflix romantic comedy. While "Happy Patel" features Khan in a special appearance, his broader return to filmmaking is described as a natural progression, influenced by personal growth and life experiences, including a divorce.
