He added, ¡°Once the character is done, you are moving to something new. You have to do something new every time, you have different filmmakers, characters, co-actors, technical team, circumstances and scenarios are also different, and the challenges are different.¡±
Talking about ¡®Farzi¡¯ he said, ¡°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?¡¯¡±
According to the actor, working with the directors, who are renowned for their distinctive voices in film and streaming with works like ¡®Stree,¡¯ ¡®Go Goa Gone,¡¯ ¡®Shor In The City,¡¯ ¡®99,¡¯ and ¡®The Family Man,¡¯ felt natural because they both enjoy watching shows.
¡°I felt like this was the next natural 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,¡± Shahid said.
