Stand-up comedian and actor Zakir Khan is back with season 2 of his show `Farzi Mushaira` on Amazon miniTV. The show involves a group of people moderated by Zakir engaging in shayari but with a comic twist. When they started out with `Farzi Mushaira`, Zakir revealed they were looking to create something that "people can binge watch".
Season 2 which is currently streaming on Amazon miniTV sees new guests like Tanmay Bhat, Vijay Varma, Richa Chadha, and Kritika Kamra along with recurring guests Nishant Tanwar, Kumar Varun, Gopal Dutt, and Hussain Dalal. "During season 1, we were just discovering as there was no reference point to a show with this theme. It`s a collaborative type of show. As a stand-up comedian, you do your own thing, you are alone all the time, so we also had to figure out that meter. These are all people who are great at their work. They are good, very talented people. So just to manage them in itself is a task. In the first season, we understood what to do and what not to do. In the second season, we were better prepared, we knew exactly what to do, we knew how to edit, and we increased the number of cameras. When it came to learning, season 1 was good, season 2 is gold," said Khan talking to mid-day.com.
