New Delhi: January 16 marks Tamil superstar Vijay Sethupathi's birthday and on this occasion, Prime Video Phas dropped a video of their upcoming crime thriller, featuring the actor as Michael, a supercop on the hunt for the con artist Sunny, aka Artist, played by Shahid Kapoor.
The video gives a glimpse into the life of the police officer who is hell-bent on eradicating the counterfeiting network from the country, and will go to any extent for the same. As the feisty cop prepares to catch Mansukh (Kay Kay Menon) and Artist, it's hard to ignore his affable antics.

Amped up with the foot-tapping background music, the video is a perfect visual treat for his fans and viewers across the globe.
Vijay recently took a dig at the Hindi-language audience, saying he isn't taken seriously until he works with the big talents of the Hindi film industry.
The actor, who has cultivated a new fan base and audience, courtesy of OTT and his films such as 'Super Deluxe', 'Vikram Vedha', '96' or the more recent 'Vikram', is working with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the Atlee Kuamar's film 'Jawaan' and with Katrina Kaif in 'Merry Christmas'.
Taking a subtle dig, the actor said, "Whoever asks me that I am doing a Hindi project, I have to say I am working with Shahid then only they say, 'oh wow, okay'."
He added: "So, I have to say I am working with Shah Rukh sir, I am working with Katrina Kaif, then only they respect me. So, it depends on the artist who I'm working with."
'Farzi' marks Vijay's foray into the streaming space but he 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.
"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.
'Farzi' is an eight-episode crime thriller with Raj & DK's signature humour, told through the eyes of a clever underdog street artist attempting to thwart a system that favours the elite.
The series will premiere worldwide on Prime Video from February 10 onwards.
