The cast includes Vir Das, Mona Singh, Mithila Palkar, Sharib Hashmi, and a special appearance by Imran Khan, marking his return to the screen after a long absence. Aamir Khan also plays a role in the film as Mona Singh's father, a reversal of their previous roles in "Laal Singh Chaddha," where she played his mother.

The film is co-directed by Kavi Shastri and co-written by Amogh Ranadive. The trailer suggests a blend of genres, with elements of action, comedy, and romance. "Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos" is expected to release in theaters on January 16, 2026.
