Zakir Khan unveils Netflix Special 'Papa Yaar' teaser, bringing unfiltered banter with father Ustad Ismail Khan
Mumbai, June 21
Stand-up comedian Zakir Khan is all set to bring audiences a special experience with his upcoming Netflix special, 'Papa Yaar by Zakir Khan'.
Ahead of its release, the comedian dropped a hilarious teaser that has already won hearts online, offering a glimpse into a rare reunion with his father, Ustad Ismail Khan.
The teaser opens with Zakir's father confronting him in his candid style about the much-talked-about 'Papa Yaar' shows. In a light-hearted exchange, Ustad Ismail Khan hilariously complains that everyone seems to know about the show except him.
"Mere naam ke shows chal rahe hai aur mujhe pata nahi kya ho raha hai. Duniya ko pata hai, bas mujhe hi nahi pata," he quips, leaving Zakir in a fix. The playful banter between the father-son duo highlights the warmth and humour that fans have come to associate with Zakir's performances.
Sharing the video on social media, Zakir teased fans about the upcoming release, building much anticipation. "It's gonna be papa's special day soon yaar. Watch Papa Yaar by Zakir Khan, coming soon, only on Netflix," the caption read.
What makes the teaser even more exciting is the rare appearance of Ustad Ismail Khan alongside his son.
The teaser video left the comment section buzzing, as the comedian's fans couldn't stop expressing their excitement for the show.
Zakir Khan-led 'Papa Yaar' tour has been winning hearts since its beginning. It has already spanned more than 60 cities across the country.
In one of his recent shows, actor Johny Lever also marked his attendance, entertaining fans with an amusing stage presence.
Zakir Khan first rose to fame in 2012 after winning Comedy Central's "India's Best Stand-Up" competition. Since then, he has built a massive fan base both in India and abroad with his stand-up specials like 'Haq Se Single', Kaksha Gyarvi' and others.

I love how Zakir brings his family into his comedy—it's so authentically Indian. This special feels like a love letter to all dads who pretend to be clueless but are secretly the biggest fans. From "Haq Se Single" to this—what a journey!
The way Ustad ji says "Mere naam ke shows chal rahe hai" is giving major Indian dad energy—absolutely relatable! I just hope Zakir doesn't overdo the emotional bits and keeps it light. His Sakht Launda persona is still the best. 🤞
Bro, Zakir Khan is the voice of middle-class Indian families. Papa Yaar tour was a massive hit in Delhi—so happy it's coming to Netflix now. Johnny Lever cameo in one show? Man, that must've been epic! Hope he does another tour soon.
It's refreshing to see a comedian include his father in a special—truly shows Indian family culture. The teaser is hilarious and heartwarming. But I feel Zakir's recent material is getting repetitive; hope this special brings something new. Still excited! 🎤
My Indian friends showed me Zakir's old specials, and I've been a fan ever since. This father-son banter is universal—even I relate to the 'dad acting like he knows everything but doesn't' bit. Can't wait to watch this with my roommates! 🇮🇳
