Shahid Kapoor is getting ready to make his big screen debut in Farzi, in which he plays a con artist. The actor has shared a new promo for the upcoming show, which introduces viewers to his character, an underdog street artist who can make a better copy than the original.
Amazon Prime shared the video with the caption, “ART IS TRUTH baaki sab FARZI (rest all is fake) – THE ARTIST Farzi… Feb 10.” Shahid Kapoor appears in the video as Sunny, an artist. He is seen asking people for money and waiting on the side of the road with his many art pieces. His friend is seen introducing him as the person who creates rip-offs that are better than the original. Shahid is then seen coming up with the idea of creating their fake currency notes, while an investigating officer (Raashii Khanna) is heard saying, “rokna padega nahi to rukega nahi (we will have to stop him somehow or he will not stop at all).”
Shahid’s fans praised him for his acting abilities in the new Farzi promo. In the comments section, a fan wrote, “ah hero kuch alag he hai iske acting amazing hai” (this actor is unique, his acting is amazing). “Shahid himself is a great artist,” said another. “You’re a brilliant artist,” said another. “Artist bole to kalaakaar..” said another. Uske hash me jaadu hai. Bole to deceive.” “This series is going to be a blockbuster series this year,” one viewer added. Another comment stated, “rukega nahi (won’t stop).”
Farzi, billed as a fast-paced and edgy crime thriller, revolves around an artist’s attempt to defraud a system that benefits the wealthy. The Family Man creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK directed the 8-episode Amazon Prime series (Raj and DK). In the show, Vijay Sethupathi plays the parallel lead, an investigating officer.
“I have been acting for 20 years and I always feel that I need to keep challenging myself, otherwise, I might get bored, repetitive, or complacent,” Shahid recently told PTI in an interview about his OTT debut, Farzi. It is essential to set new goals and challenges for yourself.”
