This is the first time Shahid has teamed up with 'The Family Man' creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK for his upcoming project 'Farzi'. Talking about their collaboration, Shahid says like the logical next step in his career. "I felt this was the natural next step for me. I have been consuming a lot of shows and enjoying them for the last five-six years, so why should I shy away from being a part of it," the actor told PTI in an interview. According to the actor, Raj and DK had initially approached him for a movie but he surprised them by opting for the Amazon show.

According to the actor, Raj and DK had initially approached him for a movie but he surprised them by opting for the Amazon show. "Every platform is as good as its content. If the content is good, the platform will perform and they (Raj and DK) have made really good content in the last three years. That's the reason we have collaborated. I am a fan of what they had done. They had reached out for a movie, I was like, (it's) a great movie, but I want to do a show with you. And DK was like, 'are you sure you want to do a show?'
