The wait is finally over. After three years of “coming soon” teases and radio silence, Amazon Prime has officially greenlit Farzi 2.
On the show’s third anniversary today, creators Raj & DK basically broke the Indian internet by dropping a “Round 2 in progress” teaser. If you’ve been tracking Shahid Kapoor’s hair cycles like a hawk, you already knew something was up. During the recent O’Romeo promotions, Shahid ditched the secrecy and confirmed the obvious: “I got this haircut for Farzi 2; shooting starts now.”
The High-Stakes Hustle
Here is the sharp reality of what we’re looking at:
Production : Cameras roll in March 2026.
The Cast : The holy trinity of Shahid Kapoor (Sunny), Vijay Sethupathi (Michael), and Kay Kay Menon (Mansoor) are all locked in. Expect the cat-and-mouse game to get significantly messier.
*The Paycheck : Industry insiders are buzzing about Shahid’s staggering ₹45 crore fee for the sequel—a record-breaking figure that proves just how much Prime is betting on this franchise.
The Release Window
Don’t expect a drop anytime before late 2026 or early 2027. Raj & DK aren’t exactly known for rushing their edits (see: The Family Man), and with a global rollout planned in over 35 languages, the post-production will be a grind.
Season 1 ended with Sunny on the run and Michael finally breaking the rules. Season 2 promises to dive into the “digital grey zones” of crime, where the printing press matters less than the code.
The first batch was a masterpiece. Let’s see if the second one holds its value.
