Amazon MX Player’s New Free Series Launches With a Viral Marketing Twist
Mumbai, June 25, 2025 – Comedian-actor Munawar Faruqui returns — and this time, he’s doing it his way. To tout First Copy, his new Amazon MX Player scripted series, Munawar abandoned traditional campaigns. He recruited some of the industry’s biggest stars for Munawar Faruqui’s Comic Chaos, a sidesplittingly disorganized crossover.
The newly-viral advertising video, found on Munawar’s YouTube channel, includes Munawar Faruqui’s Comic Chaos. It unfolds in a hilarious rollercoaster of missed calls, cringeworthy dance attempts, and ridiculous recommendations from celebrity pals such as Farah Khan, Samay Raina, Tony Kakkar, and others.
A Star-Studded Comedy of Errors
In typically Munawar fashion, the video begins with him going around begging his celeb buddies to join him on a promo idea. But when nobody answers — not even Farah Khan and Ranveer Allahbadia — desperation gives way to Munawar Faruqui’s Comic Chaos. It transforms the situation into comedy gold. A trip to business influencer Raj Shamani is no use either, as Munawar is subjected to marketing gobbledygook.
In a desperate attempt to salvage the situation, he visits choreographer duo Piyush and Shazia’s studio. He tries to get a dance step learned for the First Copy Anthem. What follows is a laugh-out-loud segment where Munawar surrenders and makes a light-hearted comment. He desires something “more Indian — like Amazon MX Player, jo India mein free hai.”
Farah Khan, Tony Kakkar & Samay Raina Bring the Madness
Eventually, when Farah Khan finally answers, the pair gives an impromptu skit around the words “First Copy”. This leaves fans in stitches during Munawar Faruqui’s Comic Chaos. Tony Kakkar, on the other hand, gives innovative tips so bizarre that it involves purchasing a black-and-white TV for inspiration. Meanwhile, Samay Raina’s unconventional suggestions take the ridiculousness to the next level. Fans proclaim the video “peak Munawar.”
A Must-Watch Series — And a Must-Watch Promo
And with First Copy already generating buzz for its satirical twist of storytelling, Munawar Faruqui’s Comic Chaos has only added to the hype. Fans refer to it as “the funniest crossover ever” and commend Munawar for having turned a marketing strategy into a comedy show.
Starring Munawar Faruqui, Krystle D’Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq, and Raza Murad, First Copy is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player. It is available through mobile, Fire TV, Prime Video, and connected devices.
