With a hilarious video, Shahid Kapoor announced the trailer release date of his OTT debut series Farzi. Raj & DK, who also directed the popular The Family Man series for the streamer, are in charge of directing the Amazon Prime Video program. In the announcement video, a Shahid Kapoor impersonator can be seen filming for Farzi's over-the-top trailer, which is styled after an actioner Hindi movie from the 1980s with cheesy VFX and comical action sequences.

Shahid enters the scene and confronts the doppelganger, who is hanging from a harness with a green screen behind him, breaking up the phony shoot. We can hear Shahid says, “This is how you are shooting the trailer? This trailer is fake, this Shahid is also fake. My show is fake– I mean, my show is real, it is called ‘Farzi’, which means fake. The trailer is coming soon,” actor informs the audience as the screen later cuts to the release date: ‘Asli trailer January 13.’

Farzi will also South actors Vijay Sethupathi, Raashi Khanna, Amol Palekar, Kay Kay Menon, Regina Cassandra, and Bhuvan Arora. Farzi, an eight-episode television series, is hailed as a fast-paced, gritty crime thriller with Raj & DK's signature humor that revolves around a cunning street artist's quest to game the system that rewards the wealthy.
