In view of these positive reviews, Shahid Kapoor has spilled the beans on whether Farzi 2 is in the making.
Speaking with Forbes India, Shahid outlined his future projects. He said, “Whether there will be a Season 2 of Farzi or not is a great question. I don’t have the answer. Raj and DK have to write it. Going by what it (Farzi’s success) did, I am quite sure there will be a second season. And I am quite sure I’ll be a part of it.”
“There are multiple other films that are yet to be announced. The producers will take a call on it. I don’t want to jump the gun,” he wrapped up.
In a recent social media interaction, Raashii Khanna shared that she spoke with Raj and DK, the creators of the web series Farzi. They stated that filming for Farzi 2 is set to begin early next year, potentially leading to a release by the end of 2025.
