Imran Khan is preparing to make his Bollywood comeback after a nine-year break, marking a significant moment in his career. Through a report by Peepingmoon.com, it has been revealed that Imran is embarking on a new chapter in his professional journey, alongside his maternal uncle and mentor, Aamir Khan.

He is set to portray the character of Happy Patel in a lively comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. Described as a laughter-filled riot, the film embraces a blend of familiar elements and a unique, refreshing setting that harks back to Imran’s past works. According to an industry insider, filming has already begun in Goa for this eagerly anticipated movie.
