Farzi 2

At the Prime Video event, Shahid Kapoor made a grand entrance by breaking through a wall on stage, followed by a shower of fake currency notes.
"This is one of the favourite characters that I've ever played," Shahid said, adding, "I am so excited that we're finally doing the second season. Whatever they have taken me through sounds like a level up from the first season, but also it sounds very much like the natural progression of the story. I love the fact that they've organically developed it in a manner where it almost felt like I was reminded of everything that happened in the first season. As an artist, that organic connectivity always really resonates."
Helmed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, the second season promises to escalate the stakes of the counterfeiting drama.
The first season of Farzi, which premiered in 2023, marked Shahid's digital streaming debut. It followed Sunny, a brilliant small-time artist who plunges into the high-stakes world of counterfeiting by designing the perfect fake currency note. His actions draw the intense scrutiny of a fiery, unconventional task force officer, played by Vijay Sethupathi, who makes it his mission to rid the nation of the threat.
The ensemble cast also featured Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Bhuvan Arora, Regina Cassandra, and Amol Palekar in pivotal roles.
