Actor Bhuvan Arora, who recently won an Award for his work in the streaming series ‘Farzi’, shared that he trained extensively to work on the machinery of the printing press. Talking about how he made his way around the heavy machinery and how he drew in terms of performance from them, Bhuvan said: “It would have been impossible to do those scenes without proper training with those machines. I remember the first day when we walked on the sets of ‘Farzi’, the first scene I shot was my introduction scene where I’m working on machinery and Sunny comes to me and I tell him that his Nanu is waiting for him.”

He praised the art direction team of the series for bridging the authenticity to the physical world of the series, as he told IMDb: “When we walked onto the set, that place looked so genuine, the machines were real.

Mumbai, Feb 14 (Ians) Actor Bhuvan Arora, who plays Shahid Kapoor’s best friend in the recently released streaming series ‘Farzi’, has been receiving a lot of positive response to his job in the show. He had initially refused the part, thinking about its length.

It was casting director Mukesh Chhabra’s agency that insisted for a small audition clip.

The actor said: “So, I got a call from Mukesh Chhabra casting company saying they want to test me for a show. And the audition script was really small. So, I told them it seems like a small part and I don’t really want to test for it. But they said, ‘No, it’s an important part, trust us.’ And I very casually sent one take to them which they happily approved and sent it ahead to Raj & Dk (the creators of the show).”

He further mentioned: “So, they saw...

Farzi is a black-comedy-crime-thriller web series directed by Raj & Dk (The Family Man fame); reportedly conceived as a film in 2014, Farzi was later expanded into a television series by 2019. The expectations from the web series were already high for multiple reasons. The most important being it directed by the ‘The Family Man’ (Tfm) duo, which has already seen two successful seasons. It appears that the success of the second season of Tfm, which had Samantha Ruth Prabhu playing an antagonist gained respect and confidence amongst the other stakeholders so much so that Farzi has multiple heavy weight artists for a web series including Vijay Sethupathi, Shahid Kapoor, Amol Palekar and Raashi Khanna.

Premise

Farzi is about Sunny (Shahid Kapoor), a young boy abandoned by his father left to fend for himself. He befriends Firoz (Bhuvan Arora) on a railway platform. They instantly hit it off as a team of an artist and a marketeer!

ReviewIt’s a relief to watch a well-written Tamil character in a Hindi production, even though that bar is quite low for Bollywood, particularly considering the depiction of Indian and Eelam Tamils in ‘The Family Man’.Starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi in his Hindi debut, Farzi tracks a down-on-his-luck artist turned currency counterfeiter and a police officer with a chequered past. Shahid plays Sunny, who makes a little money selling his artwork and spends most of his time helping run his adoptive grandfather’s (Amol Palekar) flailing political magazine. Vijay Sethupathi (or Vjs as he’s often referred to) is Michael Vedanayagam, hell-bent on bringing an end to the counterfeit note racket in the country. Overall, Farzi is an engaging thriller with messy politics, except when the emotional and romantic tracks bring the pacing to a soulless drag. Raj Nidimoru and Krishna Dk, more commonly known as Raj & Dk,...

Farzi(Prime Video; 8 episodes)

Directed by Raj & Dk

For a series on counterfeit currency creation , there is a discernible lack of artifice in the presentation. Farzi is a series where its helmers have a firm grip over the narration. The editing is tight and the narrative doesn’t slip through the cracks even once, not even when the characters are hellbent on sinking in their own morass of greed.

Or maybe greed is not the correct word anymore for aspiring to make become rich quick. Sunny and Firoz, played as a study in companionable contrasts by Shahid Kapoor and Bhuvan Arora, have grown up in a world of debt-ridden anxiety. Shahid’s Sunny reminded me of Pavail Gulati’s Abhay in Faadu. Abhay was more demonstrative about his class-related resentment. Sunny is less prone to outbursts. He is more dangerous.
