Comedian Munawar Faruqui’s hilarious promo attempt for First Copy ends in chaos, comedy, and a whole lot of missed calls.
Comedian and actor Munawar Faruqui’s latest YouTube video is turning heads for all the right reasons. In a madcap promo for his new series First Copy on Amazon MX Player, Munawar goes on a celebrity-calling spree—and no one answers.
In the now-viral video, Munawar tries to enlist help from big names like Farah Khan, Samay Raina, and Ranveer Allahbadia. But instead of solid marketing advice, all he gets is… voicemail. Desperate for ideas, he lands at Raj Shamani’s studio, where jargon-heavy branding tips leave him dazed. Next, he joins dancer duo Piyush and Shazia in a failed attempt to learn the First Copy Anthem choreography.
The chaos escalates at Tony Kakkar’s jam room, where Munawar is told to find a black-and-white TV for “inspiration.” When Farah Khan finally answers his call, the two riff in a hilarious skit using just the words First Copy. Meanwhile, Samay Raina’s wildly weird ideas push the absurdity to new heights.
The video has gone viral, with fans calling it “iconic Munawar energy” and “the best marketing without marketing.” With a powerhouse cast featuring Krystle D’Souza, Gulshan Grover, Meiyang Chang, and others, First Copy is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player via mobile, Amazon app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and smart TVs.
