Major crisis envelopes Samantha's Hindi web-series 'The Family Man' season 2

Ever since the character reveals Actress Samantha in the web series The Family Man season 2, several protests, petitions, and state government officials began demanding the ban of the web series. The cause for all this chaos turned out to be that the sentiments of the Eelam Tamilians have been hurt as Samantha was revealed to play the role of a Tamilian suicide bomber. This situation is very serious as even the Tamil Nadu Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Mano Thangaraj had written a letter to Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Prakash Javedkar to promptly ban or suspend the screening of the Family Man season 2.

Amidst this chaos, reports are stating that the OTT conglomerate Amazon Prime Video has issued a gag order to Samantha Akkineni forbidding her from talking about the show. A potential source also stated, "There are always protests to certain characters or portrayals in films or series, this comes since the audience are only exposed to a small part of what to expect, which could look a certain way. In the case of Samantha’s character in The Family Man 2, people have taken an objection to her character, but they have not seen the full range of what she portrays.”

“Amazon Prime Video like most content creators would like to avoid controversies before the release of their venture. The gag order to refrain from speak about the show is exactly that, so the audience feeling and sentiments that have been hurt can be assuaged," the source further added.
