Imagine Manoj Bajpayee as a middle-class guy with a government job doing his 9 to 5 and returning home to his wife and kids - makes for a pretty boring character, right? Now imagine him doubling up as a world-class spy who’s taking out terrorists without his family knowing about it - that’s interesting. Amazon Prime Video’s new original series The Family Man has Bajpayee doing just this.
The Family Man is touted to be an edgy action-drama series, with a dose of satirical humour, that tells the story of a middle-class guy who works for a special cell of the National Investigation Agency. While he tries to protect the nation from terror threats, he also has to protect his family from the impact of his secretive, high-pressure, and low paying job.
Created and directed by Raj and DK - the guys who gave us Stree, Go Goa Gone, The Family Man looks like a whole lot of fun. Check out the trailer below:
