Spotlight on the Screening Night

Ahead of its January 16, 2026 release, the makers hosted a special screening of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. While the film itself drew attention, it was the paparazzi interaction with Aamir Khan and Sunil Grover that truly stole the show.

Paps Get Playful

In a now-viral clip, Sunil Grover walks the red carpet only to be greeted by photographers calling him "Aamir sir." The confusion didn’t stop there, as Grover happily posed while the paps continued.

Moments later, Aamir Khan arrived hand-in-hand with his girlfriend Gauri. In an unexpected twist, the paps addressed him as "Sunil Sir." The ever-sporting Mr Perfectionist accepted the "mix-up" with a smile, adding to the evening’s fun.

When Sunil Became Aamir 

Sunil Grover’s much-loved Aamir Khan act on The Kapil Sharma Show had earlier earned praise from the superstar, setting the tone for this tongue-in-cheek collaboration. Fans joked that Grover took sweet “revenge” for Ghajini by comically ousting Khan from his own office.

A recently surfaced BTS clip from the shoot further captured Khan’s priceless reaction to the spot-on impersonation.
