The Indian web series “The Family Man,” which debuted on Amazon Prime Video in September 2019, has been highly praised by critics. This engaging show was developed by the creative team of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. To everyone’s delight, it garnered significant acclaim. Interestingly, Manoj Bajpayee wasn’t their first choice for the lead role. Instead, they initially offered it to Akshaye Khanna, but he declined the offer. Eventually, the part ended up being played by none other than Manoj Bajpayee himself.
It’s been mentioned that at first, the makers intended for Akshaye Khanna to play the main character. By November 2017, news broke out about Khanna possibly taking on the lead role in this socio-political thriller series.
Given the financial limitations we were facing and the high cost associated with working with Khanna, our collaboration unfortunately didn’t come to fruition. As a result, I was fortunate enough to be offered and accepted the role of Srikant Tiwari in December 2017.
Manoj Bajpayee’s performance as Srikant Tiwari has been praised for its richness and truthfulness. Notably, Bajpayee himself initially showed reluctance towards participating in the project. He openly shared his doubts regarding web series, often linking them to an overabundance of content.
As a devoted admirer, I must admit I was cognizant of the fact that Akshaye Khanna had been thoughtfully considered for this role. However, I harbored reservations about stepping into another actor’s shoes. It wasn’t until assurances from the casting director and a captivating narrative presented by the creators that I found the courage to embrace this role.
The series skillfully combines action, emotional intensity, and gentle wit to portray the life of Srikant Tiwari, a common man who covertly functions as an intelligence operative for the Threat Assessment and Security Cell (TASC), part of the National Investigation Agency.
The story explores the struggles Srikant faces, trying to meet the requirements of his secret job while managing his family obligations.
The show has earned universal praise for its compelling narratives, well-rounded character growth, and portrayal of current global political matters. With the first two seasons of “The Family Man” being a hit, there’s immense excitement surrounding the forthcoming third season. Filming for Season 3 is now wrapped up, so an official announcement about its release is imminent.
