Looks like troubles are not going to end soon for Raj and DK’s Amazon Prime Special Web Series Family Man2. With each passing day, the controversy over the yet to be released thriller is increasing.
The trailer of the web series was released earlier this week. 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’.
Now the controversy has taken a bigger turn with Rajya Sabha MP, Vaiko writing a letter to Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javedkar. The MP belonging to MDMK party wrote the letter seeking a ban on the soon to be released web series over it’s unfair depiction of Tamils and establishing links with ISI in the show.
The MP found the depiction of Samntha’s character in Family Man 2 as objectionable and offensive against the Tamil community. It now needs to be seen what step will the I&B Ministry take over Vaiko’s complaint
