The film announcement gave a glimpse of Aamir Khan's nephew, Imran Khan's character.

The film announcement video was shared by Aamir Khan Productions. It featured Khan in a serious conversation with Vir Das over Happy Patel.

The Laal Singh Chaddha actor pointed out that Happy Patel: Khatranakh Jasoos was supposed to have action, romance, and a dance number. However, it has none as planned and called it a flop.

However, Das justifies that decision.

As the alleged audience is seen praising the film after coming out of theatres, Aamir Khan takes a turn about the action, romance, and the item song.- something he was unsure of in the beginning.

The clip in the end shows a glimpse of the film, introducing Vir Das, Mona Singh, and Imran Khan as their characters.
