Samantha will be making her digital debut with the Family Man 2. The second season of this spy thriller web series is going to be bigger and more intense this time around. Starring Manoj Bajpayee and Priyamani alongside Samantha, Family Man 2 trailer released on May 19. While the trailer was appreciated by many, it also faced some harsh criticism.
Many Tamil users felt the series is showing the state in a bad light. Tamil Twitter users have been trending the hashtag #ShameonYouSamantha ‘#Familyman2_Against_Tamils’, and criticizing actress Samantha Akkineni for essaying the role of a Sri Lankan Tamil rebel named Raaji in the series. Users have taken offense to a scene which talks of a coalition between ‘ISI and rebels’.
The creators Raj and DK had earlier said that Samantha is playing something unique, something she has never done before. Meanwhile, the show is all set to release on June 4th on Amazon Prime Video.
