Despite all the controversies surrounding The Family Man Season 2, the lead actors have been engaged in aggressive promotions. While Samantha called Manoj Bajpayee the “greatest actor”, the latter in an interview said, “I was completely nervous. Maine kaha yaar yeh ladki toh pehle se taiyaar hai, mera ek scene bhi nahi hua hai, I really have to pull up my socks and…”
Reacting to the same, Samantha wrote, “You had to pull up your socks 😱omg @BajpayeeManoj .. don’t steal my lines sir 🙏🙏🙏 .. you are the greatest 🤗❤️And I can’t wait to for everyone to see what you have done in #familymanseason2 (sic).”
The show is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video from June 4 although several quarters have called for a ban, saying the series hurts the sentiments of Tamil. Manoj in a recent interview spoke about this and said, “The team leaders of this show are mostly Tamilians, Raj and DK, Samantha, Priyamani, Suman (writer), who can be a better person than these guys to safeguard the interests of Tamil people. They are the people who have been leading the show and have created the show. They have done everything possible to show their respect for Tamil culture and sensibilities.”
Requesting the Tamil audience to first watch the series, the actor added, “This is one series which believes in diversity. It not only tells you a good story but it also shows how proud the makers are of Tamil culture and sensibilities.”
