Comedian Munawar Faruqui Ventures Into Acting

MUMBAI- Stand-up comedian and actor Munawar Faruqui, who has announced that he cannot wait to bring the second season of ‘First Copy’ and a new series ‘Angadia,’ said being in front of the camera has always been on his wish list.

“I think every Indian dreams of being an actor or a cricketer once in their life, and I’ve been no different. Acting has always been on my wish list, and I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on ‘First Copy.’ The response has been overwhelming—I couldn’t have asked for more,” Munawar said.

‘First Copy’ is a series set in the world of 1990s piracy. The brand-new season is set to stream later this year on Amazon MX Player. A source revealed that the new season will pick up from the dramatic ending of the first, where Arif’s empire collapsed.

This time, the story will explore the aftermath of his downfall, his determination to rise again, and the price he’s willing to pay. As Arif fights to rebuild his world, the upcoming season promises fresh twists, bigger challenges, and a side of him the audience hasn’t seen before.

The cast features Munawar, Krystle D’Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq, and Raza Murad.

Munawar is currently seen as a co-host in the new reality show, ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga,’ with Sonali Bendre. The lineup on the show includes Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani, Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary, Sudesh Lehri and Mamta Lehri, Geeta Phogat and Pawan Kumar, along with Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmed. (IANS)
