Fans hail 'con artist' Shahid Kapoor for his performance in new Farzi promo

Shahid Kapoor is all set to make his OTT debut with Farzi, in which he plays a con artist. 

The actor has shared a new promo from the upcoming show and it introduces the viewers to his character of an underdog street artist, who can make a copy even better than the original.

The video was shared by Amazon Prime with the caption, “ART IS TRUTH baaki sab FARZI (rest all is fake) - THE ARTIST Farzi… Feb 10.” 

The video shows Shahid Kapoor as an artist named Sunny.

He is seen asking people to lend him money and waiting on the roadside with his many art pieces.

His friend is seen introducing him as the one who makes rip-offs better than the original.

Shahid is then seen coming up with the idea of making fake currency notes of their own, while on the other side an investigating officer (Raashii Khanna) is seen saying, “rokna padega nahi to rukega nahi (we will have to stop him somehow else he won't stop at all).”

Fans of Shahid loved the new Farzi promo and hailed him for his acting talent.

Billed as a fast-paced and edgy crime thriller, Farzi revolves around an artist's pursuit to con the system that favours the rich.

The 8-episode Amazon Prime series has been directed by The Family Man creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK (Raj and DK). Vijay Sethupathi plays the parallel lead, an investigating officer in the show.
