In February 2021, Amazon Prime Video announced to have commenced production on an upcoming yet-to-be-titled Amazon Original Series featuring Shahid Kapoor in the lead. The thriller-comedy which is created by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, will mark the digital debut of actor Shahid Kapoor.

Now, in an Instagram live session to celebrate 2 years of his superhit 2019 film Kabir Singh, Shahid talked about making his grand web debut and said that he is 'very nervous' about it. "I'm very nervous about making my digital debut because I really feel that actors who might have been liked and loved on the big screen, might or might not be appreciated on a digital platform," Shahid said.

"You can't just be okay if people like you for a couple of hours. They need to be interested in your character, connect with you and you need to hold their attention for 9-10 episodes. I don't think I'm experienced in that space. So it would be interesting to see how people react to me on that platform," he added.

Talking about his show and director duo Raj & DK, he said, "I have loved Raj and DK's work for a while. I really enjoyed seeing The Family Man and I totally loved season two. The web series is very different from anything that I've ever done. It's going to be exciting. It's a quirky crime drama," he added.

Planned as a two-season show, the Raj & DK directorial is said to be a quirky action, explosive thriller with their usual comic undertones, and will mark Shahid's foray into the fastly booming digital world. Filled with Raj and DK’s trademark dark and wry humour, the series will mark the director duo’s new collaboration with Amazon Prime Video following the spectacular success of The Family Man & The Family Man 2. The show is co-written by Sita R Menon, Suman Kumar and Hussain Dalal.
