Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor is all set to make his OTT debut with Raj and DK's upcoming web show 'Farzi'. The show revolving around the issue of counterfeit currency, will feature Shahid alongside Tamil superstar Vijay Sethupathi and the trailer of the same was released recently. In a recent media interaction, Shahid stated that since he has been watching lots of web shows lately, it felt natural to star in one.
He told PTI, I felt this was the natural next step for me. I have been consuming a lot of shows and enjoying them for the last five-six years, so why should I shy away from being a part of it.
Shahid added, âEvery platform is as good as its content. If the content is good, the platform will perform and they (Raj and DK) have made really good content in the last three years. Thatâs the reason we have collaborated. I am a fan of what they had done. They had reached out for a movie, I was like, (itâs) a great movie, but I want to do a show with you. And DK was like, âare you sure you want to do a show?ââ
Pointing out the difference between a feature film and web show, the actor said, âThe only difference between a streaming platform and films is the kind of opportunities they provide. If we know which story needs to be told on which platform and on which format then you should go out and tell it.â
'Farzi' is going to release on 10th of February exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
