The popular streaming platform Prime Video revealed its new slate of films and shows for 2026 during a star-studded event at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai on Thursday. It was attended by some of the most popular names
in the film and OTT industry. Among other titles, Shahid Kapoor made a grand entry on the stage and announced the second season of his hit show Farzi.

Speaking about the new season at the event, Shahid said, “I’ve been waiting to start season two for the last two years, and I’m so excited that it is finally happening. I can’t wait to see how it unfolds. We’ve already started shooting, and this is one of the favourite characters I have ever played. It is my favourite show.”
