show
The
Family

2
has
been
surrounded
by
controversy.
The

recently
released
the

for

two
and
netizens
called
out
the
makers
for
hurting
the
sentiments
of
Eelam
Tamils
and
also
the
people
of
Tamil
Nadu.
Tamil
Nadu
Minister
for
Information
and
Broadcasting,
Mano
Thangaraj
has
also
called
for
a
ban
on
the
show.
The
filmmakers
Raj

DK,
and
leading
star
Manoj
Bajpayee
have
released
statements
urging
the
fans
to
watch
the
show
before
coming
to
any
conclusions,
but
Samantha
Akkineni
whose
character
led
to
the
controversy
is
yet
to
open
up
about
the
same.
For
the
unversed,
Samantha's
character
who
reportedly
plays
a
suicide
bomber
is
the
antagonist
in
the
show.
In
the
trailer,
she
can
be
seen
wearing
a
uniform
similar
to
the
LTTE
(Liberation
Tigers
of
Tamil
Eelam)
uniform
causing
an
uproar
among
the
fans.
According
to
recent
reports,
the
makers
aka
Amazon
Prime
Video
has
issued
a
gag
order
to
Samantha
Akkineni
barring
her
from
speaking
about
the
show.
A
Bollywood
Hungama
report
revealed
that
makers
don't
want
the
actress
to
share
much
about
her
character
and
spoil
the
show.
A
source
told
the
portal,
"Amazon
Prime
Video
like
most
content
creators
would
like
to
avoid
controversies
prior
to
the
release
of
their
venture.
The
gag
order
to
refrain
from
speaking
about
the
show
is
exactly
that,
so
the
audience
feeling
and
sentiments
that
have
been
hurt
can
be
assuaged."
Meanwhile,
directors
Raj
Nidimoru
and
Krishna
DK
revealed
that
during
the
development
process
of
the
script,
the
duo
took
special
care
and
were
very
cognisant
of
the
sentiments
of
the
Tamil
people
and
Tamil
culture.
