Quotes
Vir Das
Actor and director of Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos
“I called up Aamir after 12 years of Delhi Belly and I hadn't spoken to him for 10 years. He took my call, gave me a meeting in six days and then, he's a very tough taskmaster when it comes to story. He will not let you shoot the film until you've really cracked the story and that the script is really doing what he really wants it to do in terms of serving every character and laughs.”

“We spent a lot of time on drafts and drafts which he worked with us on as well, and gave us notes. Kavi (Shastri, co-director) and I went on a test shoot and shot four-five scenes, and cut them together. When he was confident that we knew how to direct and he saw me doing the character for the first time, then we got to shoot the film.”
