Following a run of box-office disappointments including Deva (2025), Bloody Daddy (2023), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024), and Jersey (2022), Shahid Kapoor’s career has struck a difficult turn. Though talented and past successful with Kabir Singh (2019), his latest decisions have resulted in declining public engagement and industry conjecture on his emotional health. His stated 15% decline in Instagram interaction captures this trend. Now, Kapoor wants to recover his stardom with Farzi 2 in production. The success of this project might be his atonement, therefore deciding if he can recover or fall into Bollywood anonymity.
