Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi to start shooting for Farzi 2 from December
The first season was released in early 2023. With 37.1 million views, actor Shahid Kapoor's online series Farzi became the most-watched Hindi web series on Amazon Prime Video in 2023. Filmmakers Raj Nidhimoru and Krishna DK, better known as Raj & DK, created the series. They are also the creators of the popular television shows Guns & Gulaabs and The Family Man.
Farzi Season 2 to shoot in Dec 2025
Raj & DK's other Amazon Prime Video series, Citadel: Honey Bunny, is not moving forward with a second season, while The Family Man Season 3 is premiering in late 2025, Shahid Kapoor revealed last year that the second season of Farzi was still in the scripting stage. Now, there are rumours that shooting will start later this year, with a report in Pinkvilla stating that Farzi is scheduled to go on floors in December and that the second season will be released in the second half of 2026.
'The duo of Raj and DK are presently busy with Rakht Brahmand. On calling it a wrap, they will proceed to the pre-production of Farzi 2 and take it on the floors by December. Raj and DK have conducted meetings to discuss the basic trajectory of the sequel with Shahid Kapoor. The Farzi sequel will see a face-off between Shahid Kapoor with Vijay Sethupathi, and Kay Kay Menon," Mid-Day quoted a source as saying.
Raashii Khanna, Bhuvan Arora, Zakir Hussain, Amol Palekar, Kubbra Sait, and Regina Cassandra make up the remaining members of the ensemble cast. Michael (Vijay Sethupathi), the leader of the Counterfeiting & Currency Fraud Analysis & Research Team (CCFART), is pursuing artist-turned-counterfeiter Sunny (Shahid Kapoor), and the first season ended on a cliffhanger. After the criminal set his printing machine on fire, Sunny also burned bridges with Mansoor (Kay Kay Menon), the crime lord and former partner.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik-Jr NTR Film Sells 50K Tickets, Eyes Rs 30 Cr Hindi Opening
Last Updated: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, sells 50,000 Hindi tickets in advance. A Rs 30 crore day-one and Rs 100 crore global opening are on the cards. The buzz for War 2 is steadily building as the Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani starrer clocks impressive advance booking numbers in its Hindi version. As of 11:30 pm on August 11, 2025, national cinema chains PVRInox and Cinepolis reported a combined 50,000 tickets sold for day one. War 2 Hindi Advance Sales Hit 50,000, Rs 30 Crore Opening Expected Trade analysts expect final pre-release sales in these chains to cross 1.5 lakh tickets, paving the way for a ₹30 crore-plus net opening in Hindi alone. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film marks a major chapter in YRF's Spy Universe. While the Hindi bookings are off to a solid start, the Telugu version opens for reservations tomorrow. Analysts predict healthy numbers but caution that War 2, being primarily a Bollywood production, won't enjoy the automatic regional boost that big-ticket Tollywood films typically get. War 2 Mixed Buzz, But Huge Potential at the Box Office Early industry chatter classifies War 2's Hindi bookings as 'good, though not exceptional." Compared to the euphoric pre-sales seen in some 2023 Bollywood blockbusters, the film's mass appeal still has room to grow. Trade experts believe positive word of mouth will be key to pulling in wider audiences. Hrithik Roshan's last outing Fighter saw strong urban numbers but faltered with rural and mass-market viewers. Whether War 2 can bridge that gap will be a major talking point post-release. Globally, advance booking trends are encouraging. A ₹100 crore worldwide opening day is within reach for the action-packed thriller. However, competition is fierce—its release-day rival Coolie is projected to net around ₹140 crore on debut. That said, Hindi films generally sustain better post-opening than Tamil blockbusters, giving War 2 a chance to take the lead in the days following its release. With slick action, a star-studded cast, and a storyline that unites two pan-India icons, War 2 is positioned as one of 2025's most ambitious releases. If audience reception matches the hype, the film could dominate the Independence Day weekend box office.

Nagpur Cultural Society Stages Hindi Comdey Play ‘Dhumrapaan'
1 2 Nagpur: The Nagpur Cultural Society (NCS) treated its members to a riveting theatrical experience on August 10 at Persistent Hall with the staging of 'Dhumrapaan', a Hindi comedy play by Mumbai-based theatre group D For Drama. Written by Adhir Bhatt and directed by Akarsh Khurana — known for his work in Krrishh and Tripling — the play featured noted Bollywood actors Kumud Mishra (Rockstar, Mulk, Article 15, MS Dhoni) and Shubhrajyoti Barat (Mirzapur, Article 15), along with Ghanshyam Lalsa, Siddharth Kumar, Sartakh Kakar, Abhishek Saha, and Kirti Soni. The music was composed and performed live by Rajat Tiwari. A sharp yet humorous take on the corporate rat race, Dhumrapaan is set in the smoking zone of an office building over the course of a week. The narrative revolves around a group of employees who, while discussing appraisals, politics, and relationships, also grapple with their stress, fears, and insecurities. Blending wit with subtle social commentary, the play leaves audiences laughing while reflecting on the realities of modern capitalism. Speaking on the occasion, Rina Sinha, President of NCS, said, "NCS is committed to offering wholesome entertainment to our members across genres like dance, music, and drama, nurturing both local and national talent." She also acknowledged the efforts of theatre director Vikash Khurana of Stagecraft for facilitating the staging of Dhumrapaan in Nagpur.
