Yukti Thareja Confirms Her Role in Farzi Season 2
Speaking to Variety India, Yukti Thareja revealed that she will be the only central female protagonist in Farzi Season 2.
“I’m playing the main female lead in Farzi Season 2. I’m the only central female protagonist this season. All my scenes are with Shahid Kapoor. My character is a fearless Gen-Z woman who speaks up against the system. It’s a strong, layered role with real substance.”
The actress added that the majority of her scenes have already been filmed, with approximately 20% of her schedule still remaining.
Thareja also indicated that the makers are targeting a mid-2027 release for the upcoming season.
What to Expect From Farzi Season 2
The first season of Farzi introduced Shahid Kapoor as Sunny, an artist who becomes involved in the dangerous world of counterfeit currency. Bhuvan Arora played his close friend Firoz, while Vijay Sethupathi portrayed Special Task Force officer Michael Vedanayagam and Kay Kay Menon played crime boss Mansoor Dalal.
Season 1 ended with Sunny and Firoz managing to evade both Michael and Mansoor. The next chapter is expected to continue their struggle as they attempt to keep their counterfeiting operation alive while dealing with the two powerful men pursuing them.
Yukti Thareja’s character will now become a new and significant part of Sunny’s story. Her description of the role as a fearless young woman who challenges the system suggests that the character could bring another perspective to the crime drama.
