Shahid Kapoor has firmly established himself in Bollywood as a credible actor who consistently delivers at the box office with the right projects. Currently, he is collaborating with producer Dinesh Vijan on *Cocktail 2*, starring alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon. The film is presently being shot in Italy.
Reliable sources have confirmed that the shoot for *Cocktail 2* is expected to wrap up by December. Producer Dinesh Vijan is aiming to release the film in cinemas by the summer of 2026.
Following *Cocktail 2*, Shahid Kapoor is set to dive into the much-anticipated second season of his popular OTT show, *Farzi*. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Shahid will begin shooting for *Farzi 2* from January 2026.
A source shared with Bollywood Hungama, “*Farzi* is currently in the writing stage. Amazon Prime, along with the creators Raj & DK, are excited to start the shoot for the second season from January 2026. Shahid has allocated six months for the shoot and is receiving a hefty pay cheque.”
According to the source, Shahid will be drawing Rs. 40 crores for *Farzi 2* — the biggest pay cheque of his acting career. This significant remuneration stems from the massive appreciation received by the first season.
*Farzi 2* is expected to be a major release for Amazon Prime towards the end of 2026 or early 2027. Sources confirm that the second season will be much bigger and more ambitious than the first.
