Actor Shahid Kapoor‘s recently released web series Farzi presents him as conman who makes fake currency. Actor Vijay Sethupathi plays a special task force officer named Michael, who is on a mission to nab Shahid’s character in the show. Farzi has been directed and created by Raj and DK, who are best known for another Prime Video show, The Family Man. Fan theories have suggested that both shows belong to a shared universe.
In a new video shared by Prime Video, Manoj Bajpayee appears in character as Srikant Tiwari. He examines a note closely, and then looks into the camera and says, “Have to be sure these days whether it’s real or fake. This note has given my friend Michael (Vijay Sethupathi in Farzi) sleepless nights.”

In Farzi, another scene which sparked speculation about shared universe was the one in which Michael is talking on the phone with a man named ‘Tiwari’, whom he asks about his family. According to fans, this is a direct reference to The Family Man’s protagonist. While Manoj does not have a cameo in the Farzi, fans are convinced that it is his voice on the other end. One fan wrote in a tweet, “Michael calls Srikant. The Family Man and Farzi are part of the same Universe #Farzi.”
In another scene, Vijay is seen enquiring about ‘Tiwari’ from two individuals. Interestingly, the two individuals in the scene were seen in The Family Man as Shrikant Tiwari’s associates.
Farzi also stars Raashi Khanna, who is well known Telugu industry. Raj and DK have now moved on to finishing Citadel’s Indian leg, which is yet to the titled. The Indian section of Russo Brothers’ global series stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan.
