Delhi Belly theatrical re release also on the cards
The excitement did not stop with the sequel announcement. Fans also requested a theatrical re release of Delhi Belly so that the film could be experienced once again on the big screen. Aamir Khan responded positively and agreed that a re release could happen before the sequel takes shape.
At this point Vir Das also reminded everyone about his upcoming film Happy Patel which is scheduled to release on January 16 2026. The film is special as it marks Vir Das directorial debut and interestingly features both Aamir Khan and Imran Khan.
