The Family Man’s plotline revolves around the protagonist Srikant Tiwari, who is an intelligence officer, straddling the two worlds of domesticity and espionage. The series shows us how Manoj Bajpayee’s Srikant is an ordinary man caught in an extraordinary situation.

The Family Man Season 2 also marks the digital debut of Telugu star Samantha Akkineni, who will be seen essaying a pivotal part in the show’s sophomore season. Recently, the actor congratulated filmmakers Raj and DK for the success of their new film Cinema Bandi and asked them to release The Family Man Season 2 as soon as possible. “#cinemabandi is endearing and so full of hope. Three cheers to the team for bringing us this gem of a film….a breath of fresh air. Congratulations @rajanddk so so happy for you. Now, let’s release #thefamilyman2 (sic),” Samantha wrote on social media.

The director duo had earlier said about what to expect from Samantha’s role in The Family Man Season 2, “Her (Samantha Akkineni) character will surprise everyone. She has a role with boldness and edginess in The Family Man. Samantha delivered her best in the role.”

Manoj also sounded positive about the second season of the upcoming series in a recent interview, “At times I reserve comments (about my work) because you start sounding flamboyant. All I would say is that Family Man 2 is going to be far bigger and far more different than before. It is going to be an experience that you will not forget easily.”

We are truly grateful and humbled by all the love! We have an update for you. The Family Man Season 2 will premiere on Amazon Prime Video this summer! We have been working super hard to get you a kickass season. And we are pretty sure you will love it. Can’t wait to bring it to you!”
