When you’re a survivor, you’re broken and ready to change something,” Munawar Faruqui on Arif’s journey in Amazon MX Player’s First Copy S2
~ First Cop Season 2 is streaming for free on Amazon MX Player ~
MUMBAI, India– 12 November, 2025: Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service, returns to the gritty lanes of Mumbai’s underground film trade with the release of First Copy S2. Once the undisputed king of film piracy, Arif now finds himself surrounded by betrayal, fading power, and enemies closing in from all sides. With Afreen by his side — fierce, fearless, and no longer in anyone’s shadow — he takes on Mahesh Kumar, Vijayan, and the city’s untouchable elite in a high-stakes battle driven by stolen tapes, live broadcast warfare, and a mind that refuses to bow down.
Returning as Arif, Munawar Faruqui dives deeper into the psyche of a man haunted by his own choices.“In the first season, Arif chose the life he wanted. But in the second season, he is forced to live with the aftermath,” Munawar shared. “He’s trying to escape it, but the more he runs, the deeper he gets trapped. When you make the wrong call — in life or work, its consequences can destroy you. That’s when you become a survivor. And when you’re a survivor, you’re broken and ready to change something.”
Reflecting on one of the season’s most emotionally charged scenes, Munawar recalled, “There’s a moment where Arif learns of his father’s death, and his closest friend, Praveen, finds him on the terrace. Arif doesn’t open up easily, but that night, he cracks — in his own strange way. We shot that in a single take. The director said, ‘I don’t want another shot.’ We didn’t even realize what we’d captured until we saw the monitor; it was exactly what he wanted. Raw, unpolished, real.”
Boasting a stellar ensemble cast featuring Munawar Faruqui alongside Krystle D’Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq, and Raza Murad, with Nawab Shah joining the line-up this season, First Copy Season 2 is streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player, for free across the MX Player app, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream.
