Manoj Bajpayee is all set to make his digital debut with Amazon Prime’s The Family Man. Makers of the series dropped its teaser and it looks every bit of an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Manoj plays Srikant Tiwari, who is ‘a middle class guy but a world-class spy’.
Created by Raj & DK (Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru), known for films like Shor in the City, Go Goa Gone, and Stree, the series follows Srikant as he wears multiple hats, that of a family man and an undercover spy. Apart from Manoj Bajpayee, the cast comprises of Gul Panag, Priyamani and more.
The teaser opens with Srikant meditating, followed by shots of him in a car driving across the barren Ladakh landscape, in a boat and deserted streets. He also has a family, who isn’t aware of the second life he leads - that of a National Intelligence Agency agent. The 43-seconds teaser ends with him getting a red alert on his phone as he is meditating, which says ‘Red Alert. Report to Duty.’
From the looks of it, the viewers are in for a nail-biting thriller experience with a powerful performance by Manoj Bajpayee. The official trailer will release on 5 September.
The actor also took to Twitter to release the poster of the series, and wrote, “Abhi toh bas ye raaz khula hai aur bahot kuch baaki hai!”
