In a press statement that was issued on Friday, Naam Tamilar Katchi leader Seeman called for a ban on Family Man Season 2 that is set to air on Amazon Prime Video. Warning of dire consequences in his letter, Seeman is of the belief that the series shows Tamil people in a bad light.
“If they refuse to ban the show, release it country-wide and try to create a false impression about Tamil people, I warn that they will have to face dire consequences,” a part of his statement read. He added that he was shocked to see visuals from the trailer showing Sri Lankan LTTE as a terrorist group and Tamils as violent people.
“The show has not portrayed the grave injustice, mighty wounds and unending pain that has been meted out to Sri Lankan Tamils and instead shows them to be an excessively violent bunch. I insist that this show has to be banned," he said further, adding, "Even in the face of destruction, the Tamil Tigers did not slip from the way of justice. Instead of showing their greatness, the show tried to portray them as a heartless, violent group. I cannot agree to this any day, that is for sure.”
Family Man stars Manoj Bajpayee and Priyamani in the lead. This season will see Samantha in the role of a militant. It has not yet been announced when the sophomore season will start streaming.
