Manoj Bajpayee Was Our First Choice For The Role, Family Man Directors Raj Nidimoru And Krishna DK

Actor Manoj Bajpayee will be once again seen playing the role of an intelligence officer in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series.

Mind you, the actor played an intelligence officer in critically acclaimed films like Special 26, Naam Shabana and Aiyaari and directors, Raj and DK feel that Manoj Bajpayee has become the face of intelligence officers.

Speaking about Manoj, Raj and DK shared, "Manoj was our first choice for this role. He is the perfect blend of the common man, a man you can identify with, just like you and me... and then he can also be this intelligence officer, someone who can lend gravitas to a role that requires seriousness. This role is tailor-made for Manoj. In fact, it’s a surprise that he hasn’t done a role like this much before this!”

The actor has earlier received rave reviews for his portrayal of an intelligence officer and now with The Family Man, Manoj is once again set to treat the masses with an impactful character.

In 'The Family Man', Manoj Bajpayee will be seen juggling between his life of an intelligence officer and his family life. Manoj plays the character of Srikant Tiwari who might be a regular family man but when at work, he is a 'world class spy' dealing with notorious terrorists.

The edgy drama thriller series has been created, produced and directed by Raj and DK (Stree, Go Goa Gone, Shor in the City) and marks the digital debut of two-time National Film Award-winning actor, Manoj Bajpayee, along with National Film Award recipient, Priyamani.
