He has worked in popular television shows such as Mahi Way, Kismat, and Naamkarann amongst others and web-shows like The Verdict - State vs Nanavati and Taish. Viraf Patell is now excited as his turn to weave magic in Bollywood draws closer. The actor is all set to make his silver screen debut with the upcoming film Koi Jaane Naa, helmed by actor-turned-director Amin Hajee. The psychological thriller marks the latter's directorial debut and sees superstar Aamir Khan in a cameo.

Talking about how he bagged the film, Viraf said, "So, here is a story I love telling everyone. Aamir (Khan) sir is responsible for me being in the film. A while back, I had a lovemaking scene coming up for a web series. There was a visible cyst on my lower torso skin. I had minor surgery to have that cyst removed before the shoot of those intimate scenes. Post-surgery, that night around 5 am, the anaesthesia wore off and I was in severe pain and I decided to watch an interview of Aamir Khan by Mayank Shekhar, to distract myself from the pain. In the interview, Aamir sir mentioned how a friend gave him some cool advice to fix a problem he was facing during the Taare Zameen Par edit. I remember thinking highly of that friend and Aamir sir said his friend’s name was Amin Hajee."
