“Why would we show Tamilians in a bad light?” argues Raj Nidimoru on The Family Man season 2 May 25, 2021 at 11:06AM

Raj Nidimoru, one-half of the Raj-DK directorial duo, who is half-Tamilian, is baffled by the unfounded backlash against The Family Man Season 2. “A large number of the unit members for Family Season 2 are Tamil. Samantha Akkineni who plays the Tamilian character considers Tamil Nadu to be her home. I am half-Tamil. Other actors and technicians on the show are also from Tamil Nadu. Plus, we are all responsible citizens supremely sensitive to the politics and culture of Tamil Nadu. Why would we show Tamilians in a bad light?” wonders Raj in response to the growing protest against the streaming of the series from June 4.

“Why would we show Tamilians in a bad light” argues Raj Nidimoru on The Family Man season 2

The latest to join the clamour for a ban is Rajya Sabha member Vaiko who has written to the Information & Broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar asking for a ban on the series. Curiously the letter refers to Samantha as “Samandha” and accuses the series of “depicting Tamilians as terrorists and ISI agents and having link (sic) with Pakistan.”

There is no terrorist outfit called the ISI. What is probably alluded to is ISIS. From the trailer, Samantha’s character is also being trolled for her skin being painted black.

Protests Raj Nidimoru, “Painting black is racist. Samantha plays a woman who spends a lot of time in the heat of the sun. Her skin is tanned because her character is exposed extensively to the sun. She is in character, and there are no racial slurs, no references to any terrorist organizations. Just as Manoj Bajpayee’s character has an agenda, Samantha’s character too has an agenda. Judge her character after seeing the series, not on the basis of the trailer.”

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 ...
