Shahid Kapoor, who has already cemented his place in Bollywood by playing versatile roles in Jab We Met, Haider and Kabir Singh, has finally made his OTT debut. The actor's web series Farzi premiered on Amazon Prime Video on February 10. Shahid co-stars with Vijay Sethupathi in Farzi, which is the South star's first Hindi web series. Of course, with so many firsts, the story by Raj and DK (of The Family Man) had to be special and gripping. It's about a clever underdog street artist named Sunny (Shahid) and his pursuit to con the system. He decides to become wealthy in a short span by printing fake currency. This is where cop Michael (played by Vijay Sethupathi) comes in and begins the hunt for the con artist. Sounds interesting, right? While Farzi is Shahid Kapoor's first project to have a direct OTT release, his several movies are available to watch on streaming platforms.
