Family Man 3: 'Thank God, We Didn't Delay Too Much'

'But whenever we posted on social media about any other show or film, we received a hundred questions immediately.'

After four years, Director Raj and DK bring out the third season of The Family Man.

"It is obviously a little different from the first two seasons," Priyamani says.

"The family is more involved in this; we are also going to Kohima. But I can't tell you more," she adds.

In the series, Manoj Bajpayee plays Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man leading a double life as an intelligence officer for the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC), a fictional division of the National Investigation Agency.

"That's why it took us four and a half years to do this. We are not the sequel kind of people. We usually move on to the next new story, so this is the hardest challenge for us: To write a third season," Raj Nidimoru says.

"And how do you keep it fresh? That's why it took us so long. Even to create the antagonists in the series, it took a very long time," he said.

Earlier in June, the makers unveiled the first glimpse of the show, and confirmed the inclusion of new faces like Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur.

Returning in pivotal roles this season are Priyamani (Suchitra Tiwari), Sharib Hashmi (JK Talpade), Ashlesha Thakur (Dhriti Tiwari), and Vedant Sinha (Atharv Tiwari), among others.

Raj shared how the series is different in terms of characters and storyline.

"The texture is different. Even the characters have progressed quite a bit. Manoj and Priya, it's very difficult to do the same character and be fresh again. So they have done an excellent job to push the characters more. Jaideep and Nimrat have induced the external freshness needed for the series," he says.
