Here is the breakdown of the confirmation that has the internet buzzing.
The Revelation: "I Cut My Hair for Sunny" 💇♂️
The Quote: When fans pointed out his shorter, sharper hairstyle at the event, Shahid smiled and revealed:
"Ye baal maine Farzi 2 ke liye hi katwaye hain, shooting shuru hone wali hai." (I got this haircut specifically for Farzi 2; the shooting is about to begin.)
The Instagram Hint: He followed this up with a social media post showing off the look with the caption "SUNNY days back soon..."—a direct nod to his character, Sunny, the con-artist artist.
Timeline: March 2026 Start? 🗓️
Shooting: According to industry buzz and previous reports, the cameras are expected to start rolling by March 2026.
This aligns with the schedule of directors Raj & DK, who are wrapping up pre-production.
Release: Given the scale of the show (and Raj & DK’s perfectionism), if filming concludes by mid-2026, we can expect Season 2 to drop in Late 2026 or Early 2027.
What to Expect
Cast: The original heavyweights are expected to return, including Vijay Sethupathi (Michael), Raashii Khanna (Megha), Kay Kay Menon (Mansoor Dalal), and the breakout star Bhuvan Arora (Firoz).
Plot: Season 1 ended on a massive cliffhanger with Sunny escaping the cops while Michael was hot on his trail. Season 2 promises a global cat-and-mouse chase, with higher stakes and potentially new international players.
SantaBanta Verdict: Shahid is currently juggling two massive vibes—the rugged gangster in O’ Romeo (releasing this Friday, Feb 13) and the slick conman in Farzi 2. It looks like 2026 is officially the "Year of Shahid."
