Plot: Arif’s Rise, Fall, and Return

In First Copy Season 2, Arif’s empire is on the brink of transformation. As he pushes his piracy network beyond borders, his risky deals land him in trouble — not with the law this time, but with dangerous power players.

Caught in a tangle of deceit and revenge, Arif must navigate betrayal from those closest to him while maintaining his status as the street-smart hustler audiences grew to love in Season 1. The season promises to explore his personal life too, including his complicated relationships with characters played by Ashi Singh and Krystle D’Souza.

Munawar Faruqui made a powerful transition from stand-up comedy to acting with First Copy. His portrayal of Arif, a quick-witted, morally gray antihero, won widespread acclaim. In the sequel, he returns sharper and more dangerous than ever.

Season 2 also showcases Arif’s emotional depth, as he juggles his ambition, loyalty, and love life. The makers recently released the song “Mascara”, hinting at Arif’s continued “loverboy” persona amid chaos.

Bigger Stakes, Broader Horizons
