<p>The sequel will apparently feature a new storyline, with Punjab&rsquo;s drug crisis being the only connection to the original. <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/web-series/article/once-the-script-is-ready-shahid-kapoor-on-potential-sequel-on-farzi-23423265" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Shahid Kapoor,</a></strong> who starred in the first film, may reprise his role. According to sources, Ektaa is &ldquo;keen&rdquo; on signing him for the film, but will approach him only after the script is &ldquo;finalised&rdquo;. Production on the film is slated to begin next year.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Please cast me</h2>

In an interview, he said, &ldquo;It is my duty to remind them that I exist.&rdquo; Neil is the cousin of one of the most sought after casting directors, Shanoo Sharma, when asked if he tried asking her for work, he said that he couldn&rsquo;t as he didn&rsquo;t want to ask for favours, and that he has &ldquo;made peace with the struggle.&rdquo; The actor was last seen in Hisaab Barabar (2024).</p>
<h2>Reuniting on set</h2>

They were recently spotted shooting together on a stunning beach location, surrounded by cameras and crew. It is reportedly a coming-of-age story.
