Following the success of the first season of the Amazon Original series – The Family Man, Amazon Prime Video confirmed the second season for the series. Created, directed and produced by Raj and DK, the series starred Manoj Bajpayee, Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, Darshan Kumar, Sharad Kelkar and others. The second season will mark the digital debut of Tamil and Telugu actress Samantha Akkineni.
Vijay Subramaniam, Director and Head, Content, Amazon Prime Video India, said “Spy thrillers have been one of the more popular genres amongst our international originals; and we are happy to see this global phenomena recreated in India for The Family Man. Interestingly, the show was loved both by audiences in India and abroad. The Family Man has become our most watched Amazon Original Series in India. We are thrilled to be working with the talented duo Raj and DK for another successful season of The Family Man.”
Raj & DK said, “While we hoped that audiences would like and relate to the show, what has truly overwhelmed us is the magnitude of love we received within days of the release. Our pan-Indian cast has also been getting amazing appreciation from audiences across the country. We are thrilled that the quality of content and performances are truly breaking down pre-existing walls within various film industries in India.
Manoj added that there is no better feeling for an actor than being appreciated by the audience and fans. “The response received for my performance in The Family Man has been overwhelming and I am grateful to Raj and DK and Amazon Prime Video for their faith in me and giving me an opportunity to play the flawed but extremely relatable Srikant Tiwari,” he added.
Samantha said, “With the digital space booming, I knew I had to be a part of this revolution. What better way to make my digital debut, than with one of India’s most loved series - The Family Man. The role I play for the show is diametrically different from anything I have done before. It will certainly surprise and delight my fans.”
