Fans can’t wait for the much-awaited second season of Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Family Man’.
Along with the original cast, the new season also features South superstar Samantha Akkineni.
Manoj Bajpayee starrer critically acclaimed web series ‘The Family Man’ was scheduled to premiere its second season on Feb 12.
But, now, seems like it’s not the case anymore.
According to the latest Bollywood Hungama reports, Amazon Prime Video has apparently decided to postpone the release of the show.
Curious to know why?
Reportedly, it’s because of the ongoing stir against the streamer and its shows Tandav and Mirzapur.
Confirming the news, a source revealed to the portal, “It is true. The Family Man Season 2 has been postponed indefinitely, much to the disappointment of Manoj Bajpayee and the co-director Raj-DK.”
The source continued, adding, “The reason is, the brand Amazon has taken a beating in India with two of their most successful shows Mirzapur and Tandav coming under the scanner for allegedly hurting popular sentiments. Amazon doesn’t feel the atmosphere is conducive to the release of a big franchise like The Family Man.”
However, the director duo Raj Nidimoru & Krishna DK supposedly have nothing to do with the delay.
The source stated, “Raj and DK have delivered the full series of the second season of The Family Man to Amazon. They have nothing to do with the decision to hold back the series. As far as Raj and DK are concerned the series is ready for streaming whenever Amazon decides to do so.”
“The co-directors have no intention of modifying anything in the second season because there is nothing even remotely objectionable in the series,” it concluded.
While it’s not clear whether ‘The Family Man 2’ has any ‘provocative content’ or not, the streamer does not want to take any chances.
In fact, the trailer of the series, which was supposed to release on January 19, also has been delayed.
