ACTRESS SAMANTHA TO FEATURE IN 'THE FAMILY MAN SEASON 2'


South Indian actress Samantha Akkineni will feature in the season 2 of the Amazon prime original series The Family Man starring Manoj Bajpai in the lead
Directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, ‘The Family Man’ is centred around a middle-class man, secretly working for the TASC branch of National Investigation Agency. It’s about the challenges he faces in his personal and professional life

Malayalam actor Neeraj Madhav, Priya Mani, Sharib Hashmi, Shreya Dhanwanthary Kishore, Sundeep Kishan, Sharad Kelkar and Gul Panag were also part of the first season’s cast
The first season which started streaming in September was a big success with positive reviews by the critics as well as the commoners. The most commendable factor in the series was the makers’ decision to go for a pan Indian casting, with actors of different industries cast as characters based on their ethnicity
Neeraj Madhav and Dinesh Prabhakar played Malayali characters in the film while Priya Mani essayed the role of a Tamilian who is settled in Mumbai. Coming to the second season, most of the major actors will be retained. It is also speculated that Samantha will be playing an antagonist role
