Amazon
Prime
Video's
upcoming
show
The
Family
Man
2
has
been
surrounded
by
controversy.
Recently,
Rajya
Sabha
MP
Vaiko
had
written
a
letter
of
complaint
to
Information
and
Broadcasting
Minister
Prakash
Javadekar,
seeking
a
ban
on
the
show's
broadcast.
Now,
filmmakers
Raj
and
DK
have
opened
up
about
the
backlash.
Many
including
Rajya
Sabha
MP
Vaiko
and
Naam
Tamilar
Katchi
(NTK)
Founder
Seeman,
have
alleged
that
the
trailer
of
The
Family
Man
2
depicts
Tamilians
and
Liberation
Tiger
for
Tamil
Eelam
(LTTE)
as
terrorists
and
ISI
agents
having
links
with
Pakistan.
However,
Raj
and
DK
have
urged
fans
to
wait
and
watch
the
show.
Raj
and
DK
released
a
press
statement
saying,
"Some
assumptions
and
impressions
have
been
made
based
on
just
a
couple
of
shots
in
the
trailer.
Many
of
our
lead
cast
members,
as
well
as
key
members
of
the
creative
&
writing
team,
are
Tamilians.
We
are
very
cognizant
of
the
sentiments
of
the
Tamil
people
and
Tamil
culture
and
have
nothing
but
the
utmost
love
and
respect
towards
our
Tamil
people."
"We
have
put
in
years
of
hard
work
into
this
show,
and
we
have
taken
great
pains
to
bring
to
our
audiences
a
sensitive,
balanced,
and
riveting
story
-
much
like
we
did
in
Season
1
of
the
show.
We
request
everyone
to
wait
and
watch
the
show
when
it
releases.
We
know
you'll
appreciate
it
once
you
watch
it,"
concluded
the
statement.
The
show's
first
season
starring
Manoj
Bajpayee
had
garnered
critical
acclaim.
After
much
delay,
the
second
season
is
now
set
for
release
in
the
first
week
of
June
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
The
show
also
stars
Samantha
Akkineni,
Priyamani,
along
with
Sharib
Hashmi,
Seema
Biswas,
Darshan
Kumar,
Sharad
Kelkar,
Sunny

Shreya
Dhanwantary,

and
