While she’s excited about the sequel, she shares that Raj and DK, the creators of the show, are still in the writing stage.

“Shahid is also as clueless as me. We’ve no idea what’s happening. We’re just waiting for a call from them that they’re ready with the script and that we can start shooting. I really can’t wait to start Farzi 2. Hopefully, we should begin shooting for it sometime this year. Let’s see what happens," the Farzi actress said.

Farzi originally conceived as Bollywood movie

Farzi, originally conceived as a Bollywood movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was later expanded into a web series by Raj & DK. As the story grew beyond a movie format, Nawazuddin was no longer part of the project, and Vijay Sethupathi joined the cast instead.
