Actor Vijay Sethupathi turns year older today. The actor who is a big name in the Tamil film industry has made a name for himself across the country with his work and will soon be seen in multiple Hindi-language projects including Raj & DK's Hindi web series, 'Farzi'.

On his birthday, Prime Video dropped an intriguing video of Vijay's character from the series. The actor is shown as supercop Michael in the video who does his job in style. The video gives us a glimpse of a no-nonsensne cop who would go to any extent to eradicate he counterfieting network from the country and will go to any extent for the same.

Spanning eight episodes, Farzi is a fast-paced, edgy, one-of-a-kind crime thriller, with the director duo's trademark humour, stiched around a clever underdog street artist's pursuit to con the system that favours the rich. What ensues is a thrilling cat-and-mouse race between him and the law enforcement where losing is not an option.
'Farzi', which marks Vijay Sethupathi's foray into the streaming space, has been created and helmed by Raj & DK of 'The Family Man' fame. But Sethupathi refuses to call it a debut in streaming space. "I don't know how to say it's a debut because I don't see it as a debut. In 2010, I debuted as a hero. It's been 12 years. I did about 55 films. It's like I am going back as a kid again, so I don't think it's a debut," Sethupathi said at the trailer launch.
"For me, a short film or a feature film, every scene is a film. We are putting the same kind of effort for each and every shot to impress the audience," he added.
