Vir Das Shares Experience Directing Aamir Khan

Vir appeared on a podcast on Hook’s YouTube channel, where he shared details about his upcoming directorial, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. He also grabbed attention with his statement about Aamir Khan and his behaviour on the film set. He said, "We’re like we’re going to shoot with Aamir last because we really want to have our sh*t together and have a tight-functioning unit.

Vir confessed that he took 30 seconds to process the moment when he realised he was directing Superstar Aamir Khan after the actor gave his first shot. He added, "You’re trying very hard to fanboy. You also realise, in that moment, that some people just have this magical, ethereal thing that they bring on to the screen, which you can see in real time. You’ve shot with the entire cast, including yourself, who do not have that thin. We improvised with him on an insane level with our suggestions. And he was just super secure."
