Shahid Kapoor
As âO'Romeo' opens in cinemas, the actor is already preparing to swap romance for counterfeit, with âFarzi 2' next on his slate.
After a run of intense roles, he confirms to mid-day that he will soon head back to the universe of âFarzi' (2023). "I've already moved into something very different. I'm currently doing âCocktail 2', which is more into a light-hearted romantic space. In fact, I started shooting for Cocktail almost immediately after wrapping âO'Romeo', and I was even shooting for it during the promotions. Now that âO'Romeo' has released I will begin shooting for âFarzi 2', which I'm really excited about. I enjoy switching worlds, it helps reset you as an actor."
Beyond this, Kapoor has also been linked to projects with Atlee, a biopic on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and the mythological series âAshwatthama: The Saga Continues'.
Released in 2023, âFarzi' starred Shahid Kapoor as a small-time artist pulled into the world of counterfeit currency. The crime thriller also featured Vijay Sethupathi, Rashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, and Bhuvan Arora
