“How can we not talk about family when family’s all we got,” Wiz Khalifa once said. It clearly is one of the most important things in any person’s life, without which they remain incomplete. It is the same in case of our most popular family man, aka Srikant Tiwari from Amazon Prime Video’s show – The Family Man.
While fans can’t get enough of Srikant Tiwari and his new nemesis, Raji, played by Samantha Akkineni, here is an appreciation for the key characters from this series without whom, the magic which this show has created would not be possible.

Srikant Tiwari is missing the game. His action hero days are clearly over, and he now stagnates in a dead-end job at a software company. Aggressively bored, he calls up his old partner, JK (Sharib Hashmi), who’s leading a covert operation in Chennai. JK gives him the lowdown: action, guns, hostages. Srikant’s face turns angry, desperate. It’s the look of a football player who’s been forced to grab a bench. Yet the coach is not to blame.
Srikant, played by Manoj Bajpayee, is on the slide. In the debut season of The Family Man (on Amazon Prime Video), he was a star spy, a master negotiator capable of disarming angry fanatics with his stories and smile. His fortunes have dipped exponentially ever since: he’s left the NIA, and harbours immense guilt over his previous mission even though the day was saved. Directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK don’t waste any more time tying up loose ends. Rather, in season 2, the drama turns to another taciturn soldier
Before the release, the series faced opposition from Rajya Sabha member and MDMK leader Vaiko and Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) Founder Seeman, who demanded to stop the broadcast of the show for showing Tamilians in a negative light.
At the time Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK had said they respect the sentiments of Tamil people and have come up with a sensitive, balanced, and riveting story .
