Nawazuddin Siddiqui has faced his fair share of being replaced or overlooked in various projects, but Shahid Kapoor's Farzi stands out as a real surprise. This web series on Prime Video was initially meant to be a film starring both Shahid and Nawazuddin in the lead. While Shahid has taken the spotlight in Farzi, Nawazuddin ended up being swapped out when the project shifted from a movie to the web series we see now.

Farzi started out as a movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi's series, known as Farzi, has an interesting backstory. It was initially meant to be a film starring Shahid and Nawazuddin. But then Raj and DK, the creators behind Manoj Bajpayee’s The Family Man, saw potential in the story and decided to develop it further. Instead of wrapping it up in a three-hour movie, they transformed it into a web series, which is now set to grow with a new season on the way.
