Shahid Kapoor is once again trending online after confirming that the second season of the web series Farzi has begun filming. While many viewers welcomed the update, the news also triggered a wave of debate on social media about the actor’s recent films and his future at the box office.
Shahid shared the update on March 7 through his Instagram Stories. He posted behind-the-scenes photos from the set with creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. Along with the picture, he wrote, “Farzi 2 day 1… back at it.”
The announcement quickly grabbed attention, especially among viewers who enjoyed the first season of Farzi, which was released in 2023. However, as the update spread online, users began discussing Shahid Kapoor’s recent flops and upcoming films.
Shahid Kapoor Called OTT Hero Before His Return With Farzi 2
Soon after the shooting update went viral, users on Reddit started sharing their opinions about Shahid Kapoor’s career. Many discussed whether his next film could decide his comeback in theatres.
One user wrote, “Ab lagta h OTT pe he comeback hoga (if cocktail 2 flops).”
Another comment criticised the casting of the film and said, “I think it will flop I couldn’t stand kriti and shahid in teri baaton mein so add rashmika to the mix it’s a recipe for disaster sad to see a nostalgic movie (just cuz of the songs I don’t like the storyline) get a bad sequel.”
However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. Some users believed the film could still perform well. One comment read, “It won’t flop because of Rashmika’s marriage craze, and Kriti also has a decent fan following and her previous movie with Shahid was also good.”
Meanwhile, several viewers expressed excitement about the upcoming season of the web series. A user wrote, “I really liked Farzi S1. I’m kinda excited!”
Some comments also focused on Shahid Kapoor’s filmography. One user wrote, “After Kabir Singh, he could have become a SUPERSTAR with the right choices . But he did Remakes and OTT content for easy money. Now audience will see him as OTT hero .”

Another comment said, “He has just given four CLEAR HITS in his entire career Vivah, Jab We Met, Padmaavat and Kabir Singh. And all other movies are average, flops or mega disasters.”
One more user added, “Shahid is a mediocre actor, good dancer tho but his overly egoistic personality makes me hate anything he acts in.”
About Farzi 2 And Cocktail 2
The new season of Farzi will bring back key actors including Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna and Kay Kay Menon.
The series has just started filming. However, viewers may have to wait a while before it releases. According to earlier comments by Shahid, the show usually takes one to two years to complete post-production. Because of this, the new season may arrive on Amazon Prime Video around 2027.
Apart from the web series, Shahid is also working on the film Cocktail 2. The movie is described as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail. It is directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films.
The film stars Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna alongside Shahid Kapoor. Filming wrapped on January 30, 2026, after major shooting schedules in Sicily, Italy and Delhi.
Although the story has not been revealed yet, reports say the film will explore modern relationships with a bold theme. Some reports also suggest the plot could revolve around a complicated love triangle.
