The source revealed that the Kabir Singh actor usually charges Rs 25 to 30 crore per film. However, this time, he has charged more than usual as Farzi is a digital show, and he has a different fee structure for OTT and theatrical releases.  

Pinkvilla exclusively informed you last month that Raj & DK are all set to take Farzi 2 on floors from December 2025. A source had shared with us that the director duo, after wrapping up their current project, Rakt Brahmand, will proceed to the pre-production of Farzi 2.  

In addition to this, Raj & DK have also discussed the basic trajectory of Farzi 2 with the Devaa actor. The upcoming sequel will see a face-off between Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, and Kay Kay Menon. It is set to premiere in the second half of 2026.

The 2023-released Farzi premiered on Amazon Prime Video. Led by Shahid Kapoor, it also featured Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Bhuvan Arora, and Kavya Thapar among others in the key roles.
