Revealed: The reason for Family Man 2’s delay May 24, 2021 at 03:27PM

Any reference to any political outfit is unofficially banned on all the major Indian OTT platforms. So it came as a surprise to hear Dalip Tahil’s unmistakable baritone warning of a coalition between the “ISI and the Rebels” in the trailer of The Family Man Season 2. The reference to the ‘Rebels’ has been interpreted by suspicious elements as alluding to the ‘LTTE’ The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam who fought a bloodied civil war in Sri Lanka for an independent state against the country’s Sinhalese population .

Revealed The reason for Family Man 2’s delay

When The Family Man 2 was completed and sent to Amazon, the political reference was perceived as sensitive and potentially volatile. “After the Tandav controversy and the ensuing harassment of the Tandav creative and business team, Amazon Prime decided to put a brake on the release of The Family Man Season 2, as Samantha Akkineni’s character of the Tamil rebel is plainly an LTTE offshoot,” says an informed source.

Some months ago Netflix had refused to broadcast Deepa Mehta’s beautifully narrated film Funny Boy for this very reason. They gave Deepa no official reason for the unofficial ban. But it was discovered from unofficial channels that the film’s depiction of the Tamil-Sinhalese conflict was the reason for its unavailability in India.

With a Tamil politician coming out unambiguously asking for a ban on The Family Man Season 2, Amazon has for now decided to maintain a silence over the issue. “There is no reference by name to the LTTE. Samantha Akkineni’s character could be from anywhere. If the protestors make up their minds about The Family Man 2 being anti-Tamil without even seeing the series merely on the basis of the trailer, then the creative freedom of this country is screwed,” says a source very close to the project.

SCOOP: Filmfare Awards, Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards won't take place next year? November 25, 2020 at 11:19AM

The beginning of a new year brings a lot of positivity and hope, and also ushers in the awards season. However, 2021 might be an exception in this regard. The Coronavirus pandemic has led to a lot of change in the status quo of all fields and Bollywood is no exception. With the disease still not in control, the battle against the virus will continue in 2021 as well. And this would mean the awards ceremony, televised to a million viewers globally, might not happen at all. A source claims, “The major award shows like Filmfare Awards, Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards etc might not take place in 2021. These ceremonies involve celebrities from all walks of lives congregating in huge numbers at a particular venue. In times of social distancing, that won’t be a practical thing to do. And most importantly, there have hardly been any releases in 2020. After March 13, there has been no major release in the post-lockdown period. Only Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari released in this season and a couple of ...
