Farzi, Raj & DK’s dark comic crime thriller series about currency note counterfeiting, premiered in 2022 and was an instant hit. It went on to receive fantastic reviews, with many praising its lead performers, Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi.
It was the first time the two were seen sharing screen space. Farzi also starred Raashii Khanna, who played the role of Megha Vyas, a RBI analyst who specialises in spotting counterfeit notes.
Farzi managed to spark conversations on social media and received numerous accolades for its originality. Needless to say, fans are now anticipating a sequel to the series. During a recent social media engagement with fans, Shahid answered a question about the release of Farzi 2 by saying, “ART banana mein time lagta hai kachra jaldi ban jata hai.”
However, it appears that the wait is finally over. There is finally some information about the much-awaited sequel. In an exclusive interview with News18, Raashii discloses the details. “Farzi 2 will start at the beginning of next year,” she said.
The shoot’s delay could be related to Raj and DK’s hectic schedules, which include several other projects. “Raj sir and DK sir have a lot on their plate right now. They have Citadel Honey Bunny coming up, and then there’s The Family Man 3. After that, they will probably move to Farzi 2. According to the information I have, the shoot will start in 2025,” Raashii told the news portal.
The Yodha actor goes on to laud her Farzi co-stars, saying she learned a lot from Shahid and Vijay. “He (Vijay) is who he is, and he doesn’t pretend to be anything but himself. I love that about him. As for Shahid, I love his versatility as an actor,” says Raashii.
Earlier this month, Shahid revealed at a masterclass that Farzi 2 is absolutely in the works, although there is no word on when shooting will commence.
“Farzi 2 will happen, and if anything else I like, I will, but as of now, I haven’t said yes to anything for OTT because I had two releases this year, so I’m going to do some stuff for theatres now. But Farzi 2 will definitely happen,” he had said.
Meanwhile, Raashii Khanna was last seen in the movie ‘Yodha’ alongside Sidharth Malhotra.
