Shahid Kapoor shares update on 'Farzi 2': It should be out next year
Mumbai, June 23
After 'Cocktail 2', Shahid Kapoor is gearing up to reprise his role as Sunny in the second instalment of the popular 'Farzi' franchise.
Giving an update on when 'Farzi 2' might reach the cinema halls, Shahid said that if everything goes as per plan, the season 2 of the drama will be out by next year.
Shahid conducted an 'Ask Me Anything' session on his official Instagram handle on Tuesday.
One of the netizens asked him, "What about Farzi 2?"
Giving an update on his highly-awaited series, Shahid revealed, "It is a work in progress. We are almost done. I think it should be out next year."
Shahid commenced the shoot for 'Farzi 2' in March this year.
Sharing the exciting update on social media, Shahid dropped a black and white photo with the makers of the show on Insta, along with the text, "Farzi 2 day 1... back at it!!!"
In February, Shahid confirmed 'Farzi 2' with another social media post. He published a photo with the makers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna Dasarakothapalli, collectively known as Raj & DK, on his Instagram Stories, along with the text, "The fakers are back at it."
Confirming the update, Raj & DK also shared a photo of piled-up currency notes and captioned it "Round 2 in progress".
Created, produced, and directed by Raj & DK, the show boasts a stellar cast with Shahid, Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Bhuvan Arora, Regina Cassandra, and Amol Palekar in significant roles, along with others.
Premiered on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video on 10 February 2023, the eight-episode series shared the story of a small-time con artist, Sunny (Played by Shahid Kapoor), who finds himself in the middle of the dark world of crime as he attempts to pull off the perfect con.

Hope they maintain the same quality as season 1. Raj & DK are brilliant directors, but sequel pressure is real. Shahid as Sunny was just perfect. Also, Raashii Khanna and Kay Kay Menon were superb. Waiting eagerly 🤞
'Farzi 2' update is nice but I'm more excited about 'Cocktail 2' honestly! Saif and Deepika were iconic in part 1. Shahid is versatile though, from romantic hero to con artist, he's done it all. Let's see if season 2 can outdo the original.
Finally some good news! Bollywood is really experimenting with OTT shows now. Farzi was one of the best Indian web series in recent times. Hope they don't drag the story unnecessarily in season 2. Please release it on Prime Video soon, next year feels so far 😩
I'm a bit skeptical about sequels. The first season had a perfect ending, hope they don't ruin it with unnecessary twists. But I trust Raj & DK's vision, they delivered 'Family Man' and 'Farzi' brilliantly. All the best to the team! 👏
