When Farzi, directed by Raj and DK, released on Amazon Prime Video, fans didn’t waste any time in picking up the similarities between the Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi starrer and the directors’ hit web series The Family Man. Soon after several fan theories surfaced online, drawing parallels between the two web series. Writer-director Suparn S Varma, who has been part of both the seasons of The Family Man, says that fans will have to wait for the third season of the Manoj Bajpayee starrer to get their answers.
For instance, in Farzi, The Family Man’s Chellam sir made an appearance. In another scene, Vijay’s character is seen talking to someone called ‘Tiwari’ on a call and fans believe that it is a direct reference to Manoj’s The Family Man character Srikant Tiwari.
When asked if these fan theories have truth to them, Suparn told indianexpress.com, “I guess everyone will have to wait till Season 3 of The Family Man comes out to know what is speculation and what is theory. I am not going to add more fuel to the fire. Let fans of both the shows have fun till Season 3 comes out. That’s the fun of it. That’s the beautiful relationship the audience creates when they love a show and love the characters of the show.”
So, when does the third season of The Family Man finally go on floors? “The Family Man’s next season we will start shooting by the year end.” When we tried to probe further, Suparn was quick to answer, “I can’t tell you anything more than that.”
Suparn S Varma is gearing up for the release of his next project Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai. While Suparn is the creative director on the film based on real-life events, it is directed by Apoorv Singh Karki.
The courtroom drama shows Manoj Bajpayee as lawyer PC Solanki fighting the case of a minor girl, who accuses a godman of sexual assault.
Suparn says to get Manoj on board for the film was not a difficult task. “We were blessed to have such a powerful story as our basis. I have worked with Manoj over the last 18 years and within 15 minutes of hearing the basic story, he was on board. We have got some of the best people to be part of the movie and make such a powerful film.”
The filmmaker is also directing Kajol’s OTT debut The Good Wife. He has co-written Lootere with Hansal Mehta and Jai Mehta. Besides this Suparn’s directorial Sultan of Delhi is also expected to release this year.
