Manoj Bajpayee

Manoj Bajpayee who plays lead role in Amazon Prime Video’s hit web series The Family Man, has requested Tamil audience to watch the series as it has shown respect for Tamil culture. The request comes after calls of banning the second season of the series for presenting Tamilians in a bad light and highly objectionable manner.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor said the show has been created by a team dominated by Tamilians, including directors, Raj and DK, actors Priyamani and Samantha Akkineni, and writer Suman, who have great regard for the Tamil culture.

The team leaders of this show are mostly Tamilians, Raj and DK, Samantha, Priyamani, Suman (writer), who can be a better person than these guys to safeguard the interests of Tamil people. They are the people who have been leading the show and have created the show. They have done everything possible to show their respect for Tamil culture and sensibilities, Bajpayee said.

Bajpayee assured the audience that after watching The Family Man 2, they will be proud of the series. He added, this is one series which believes in diversity. It not only tells you a good story but it also shows how proud the makers are of Tamil culture and sensibilities.

Watch Trailer:

On Monday, the Tamil Nadu government had requested the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to either stop or ban the release of The Family Man Season 2 for allegedly depicting the Eelam Tamils in a negative light. In a letter to I&B minister Prakash Javadekar, Tamil Nadu IT Minister T Mano Thangaraj said the trailer presented Tamilians in a highly objectionable manner and there was an attempt to discredit the struggle of the Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka. He also said the portrayal of actor Samantha Akkineni as a terrorist is directly an attack on the pride of Tamils living around the world and no one will tolerate this kind of motivated and mischievous campaign.

On Tuesday, Raj and DK also issued a statement requesting people to watch the series first and not decide on the basis of a few shots of the trailer. 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, the statement read.

Alt Balaji’s reality show Lock Upp has been up with several content these days. Recently, one of the contestants, Mandhana Karimi revealed that she had a secret affair with an ace director and was pregnant with his child. Sadly, she was abandoned and had to abort the baby. However, this is not for the first time that a director got involved with his films leading actress. Bollywood has witnessed several incidents where the heroine and director have gotten serious for each other. Unfortunately, most of these relationships have not always ended well.

Here’s a list of directors who fell for their film’s lead:

Ameesha Patel and Vikram Bhatt

Ameesha Patel and Vikram Bhatt both met on the sets of the film ‘Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage’. It is said that both were in a serious relationship.

Vikram Bhatt and Sushmita Sen

Before Ameesha Patel, Vikram Bhatt’s heart fell on Sushmita Sen. Sushmita and Vikram’s relationship was very much discussed. The director once admitted that his love-affair with Sushmita was the reason behind his divorce with his wife Aditi. They met on the sets of ‘Dastak,’ and instantly got attracted to each other. Their relationship didn’t last long because the two parted ways before things could lift off.

Anurag Kashyap and Huma Qureshi

Anurag Kashyap was Huma Qureshi’s best friend and launched her in Bollywood. Both of them were seen together at many occasions. Their relationship started soon after Anurag’s marriage with Kalki was ending. In several interviews, Huma denied about the affair but a close friend of the director revealed that Anurag had found his solace in Huma.

Actor Dileep is accused in the 2017 abduction and sexual harassment case and it seems like the investigative team has found a new lead on this case.

Having done films like Ee Puzhayum Kadannu, Vellaripravinte and Salaapam, Actor Dileep has won several awards like Best Actor in Lead Role for Vellaripravinte, Special Jury Award for Kunijkoonan and Special Mention for Chanthupottu. And once again the actor has made it to the headlines but for the wrong reason. The investigative team of the 2017 abduction and sexual harassment case have built a strong case against actor Dileep and it seems like the testimony given by his former friend Balachandra Kumar has worked against the actor.

·     In June 2018, Dileep filed a petition in the Kerala High Court charging the Kerala Police with deliberately framing him. The actor even requested the case to be handed to the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation). Later actor Dileep filed an additional plea requesting his access to the video footage of the incident. However, the plea was denied by both the Kerala High Court and the Angamaly Magistrate Court.

·     In October 2018, actor Dileep was granted bail by the Kerala High Court. And In April 2019, the Government of Kerala froze charges against him until the court gave an independent verdict on the case.

·       In December 2021, film director Balachandra Kumar gave an interview to a leading news channel where he alleged that he was witness to discussions among people including Dileep regarding attacking police officers leading the investigation of this case, turning witnesses hostile, and being in illegal possession of the assault video. The director even claimed to have the audio recordings of these conversations. Hence, based on these claims, Kerala police registered a new case against actor Dileep for conspiracy to assault investigating officers.
