The Family Man 2: Trouble for Manoj Bajpayee's upcoming show continues

A still from The Family Man 2

The Naam Tamilar Katchi has warned of "dire consequences" if 'The Family Man 2' that "tries to misrepresent Tamils" was released on June 4. Party leader Seeman has alleged in a statement that the Amazon Prime Video series "portrays the LTTE as terrorists and Tamils as vicious. A Sri Lankan Tamil woman has been portrayed as a militant." Ever since the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer's trailer dropped on Wednesday, it has faced a backlash on social media for "depicting Tamil Nadu in a negative light."

For the uninitiated, Samantha Akkineni plays a terrorist, who talks about a "hostage situation" in Chennai. "Tamil people are not terrorists. We love peace, don't project us as terrorists," wrote a social media user. The Manoj Bajpayee-starrer drops next month.

The first season of Raj & DK's "The Family Man" was a hit upon release in 2019. Manoj Bajpayee plays Srikant Tiwari, an NIA agent struggling to balance his super-secretive job profile with his mundane middle-class life. Samantha joins the show in its second season as the antagonist. She plays a terrorist named Raji. The Amazon Prime show marks her debut appearance on the Hindi screen.

The upcoming season also features Sharad Kelkar along with Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, Darshan Kumaar, Sunny Hinduja, and Shreya Dhanwantary. The second season of the popular web series "The Family Man" will premiere on June 4.
