Shahid Kapoors Farzi 2 Fees The Biggest Amount In His Career?

Shahid Kapoor made his OTT debut with Raj & DK’s Farzi and proved that, be it the big screen or small, he can captivate audiences equally. The show followed the story of a small-time artist, Sunny, who gets drawn into the world of counterfeit currency along with his best friend. As the duo make fake currencies, they face challenges from a gangster, Mansoor and a cop, Michael. The show was an instant hit, and as per reports, the second season of Farzi will go on floors in December this year. Amid this, a report has come out stating the whopping fees Shahid has charged for the sequel.

As per Pinkvilla, he has been paid a premium amount of Rs 45 crore for the sequel of Farzi. This marks the highest amount he has ever received for a project. As per the publication’s sources, Kapoor generally charges Rs 25 to 30 crore per film, but has charged more for Farzi as it is a digital show and he has a different fee structure for OTT and theatrical releases.

Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that Farzi 2 is expected to go on floors in December 2025. According to Mid-Day, the filmmaker duo is currently occupied with another project titled Rakht Brahmand. A source close to the production revealed, “Raj and DK are currently occupied with Rakht Brahmand. Once they wrap the show, they’ll dive into pre-production for Farzi 2. The show is expected to drop on OTT in the second half of 2026.” Farzi also starred Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon, Raashii Khanna and Bhuvan Arora.

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor is wrapping up other commitments before stepping back into the world of Farzi. He is reportedly set to complete filming Cocktail 2, the sequel to the 2012 Deepika Padukone starrer Cocktail. He will be joined by Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon. He is also filming Arjun Ustara with Triptii Dimri, Randeep Hooda and Nana Patekar.
