On its official third anniversary, the popular crime-thriller series Farzi released a huge update for season two. The renowned directing team of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. better known as Raj & DK, confirmed production for the sequel is underway today, February 10, 2026, on their official X (formerly Twitter) account.

What clues did Raj & DK drop for Farzi Season 2?

Along with the announcement came a teaser image of a huge stack of carefully placed counterfeit banknotes. A stencil-like font superimposes the words "Round 2 in progress" on top of the image. The directors' use of the hashtag "#Farzi" in the post's caption suggests that production on the second season will begin soon, carrying on from the first season's grim, high-stakes setting.

Many have wondered when Raj and DK will return to the Farzi universe, despite their hectic schedules over the past two years with projects like Citadel: Honey Bunny and The Family Man (Season 3). Shahid Kapoor has been really active as of late, so maybe we won't have to wait much longer.

When does filming for Farzi Season 2 officially begin?

The actor debuted his new hairstyle earlier this month on Instagram, taking style cues from his character Sunny from the first season. With the caption "SUNNY days back soon...", he sparked rumours that filming was about to pick up speed. According to industry sources, the main filming for Farzi Season 2 is expected to commence in March 2026, and Kapoor is supposedly ready to earn a record-breaking sum for his OTT comeback.

Farzi became an essential piece of Indian streaming content shortly after its initial release on February 10, 2023. It was the most-watched Hindi web series of 2023, with an audience of almost 37.1 million in its first year. To rescue his grandfather's faltering printing press, Sunny (Kapoor), a gifted but disillusioned artist, exploits his skills to make almost flawless counterfeit money.

Where did we leave off with Sunny in Farzi?

Season one concluded in suspense as Sunny, fleeing from his best friend Firoz (Bhuvan Arora) and under the relentless watch of his archenemy, Michael (Vijay Sethupathi), boarded a train to escape the turbulent confrontation.

While we don't yet know the specifics of the plot, we do know that the second season will cover a lot more ground. Speculation has it that the upcoming season would cover more modern financial crimes, such as crypto-fraud, digital counterfeiting, and the shadow side of the tech-driven economy, in contrast to the first season's emphasis on physical money and conventional printing methods.

Which cast members are set to return in Farzi Season 2?

Fans may look forward to seeing Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Bhuvan Arora, and Kay Kay Menon all back in the ensemble. The story is expected to go further into the psychological toll that Sunny's illegal life took on him and the growing animosity between him and the police.

With Raj & DK's usual massive post-production requirements, such as dubbing in dozens of languages for worldwide streaming, Farzi Season 2 is likely to debut on Amazon Prime Video in late 2026 or early 2027. For now, the "Round 2" notification confirms that the "artist" is indeed active once more.
