Amazon Prime Video’s web series ‘The Family Man 2’ continues to grow wildly. This time a wave of protest has arisen from South India, where political opposition to the web series is increasing. After Rajya Sabha MP Vaiko, the Minister of Tamil Nadu has now written a letter to Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar of the Government of India, demanding a ban on the series.
Tamil Nadu’s Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Mano Thangaraj, has written a letter to the Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Prakash Javadekar, asking him to immediately ban the screening of the “Familyman 2” web series on the OTT platform Amazon Prime across the country.
The government said in the letter on Monday that the trailer of the recently released series depicts Eelam Tamils in a highly objectionable manner. In the letter, the Minister of State said that Manoj Bajpayee, Samantha Starr not only hurt the sentiments of Eelam Tamils, but also hurt the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu.
MDMK leader Vaiko also demanded a ban from Javadekar on Sunday and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, the leader of Naam Tamilar Kachi and actor director Seaman have also demanded a ban on the series.
Mano Thangaraj said in the letter that branding Tamil-speaking actress Samantha as a terrorist in the series is a direct attack on the pride of the Tamil population living around the world and no one will tolerate such an inspired and mischievous campaign. He also said that the series has already faced widespread opposition from the people of Tamil Nadu as well as the political parties of the state.
