As ‘O’Romeo’ opens in cinemas, the actor is already preparing to swap romance for counterfeit, with ‘Farzi 2’ next on his slate.

After a run of intense roles, he confirms to mid-day that he will soon head back to the universe of ‘Farzi’ (2023). “I’ve already moved into something very different. I’m currently doing ‘Cocktail 2’, which is more into a light-hearted romantic space. In fact, I started shooting for Cocktail almost immediately after wrapping ‘O’Romeo’, and I was even shooting for it during the promotions. Now that ‘O’Romeo’ has released I will begin shooting for ‘Farzi 2’, which I’m really excited about. I enjoy switching worlds, it helps reset you as an actor.”

Beyond this, Kapoor has also been linked to projects with Atlee, a biopic on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and the mythological series ‘Ashwatthama: The Saga Continues’.
