Actor Manoj Bajpayee recently revealed exciting details about the upcoming Season 3 of The Family Man, which is set to premiere next year. He discussed when filming will begin and what fans can expect from the show’s third season.
Manoj Bajpayee revealed to The Lallantop that filming will begin at the end of February, primarily in the North-East region. He assured fans that the upcoming season would be “bada sundar aur bhayanak” (bigger and more intense) than its predecessors. The story will continue where the previous season left off, with new circumstances and challenges for the protagonist, Srikant Tiwari.
The actor revealed, “We will start shooting at the end of February, and this time we will mostly shoot in the north-east We’ll pick up where we left off last season. I can assure you that Family Man will be bigger than ever this season. Sundar and Bhayanak are both bad. There will be new circumstances and circumstances. Srikant Tiwari is now in the stage of his life where his children have grown up and Srikant himself has aged slightly, but the challenges do not leave him.”
Manoj Bajpayee gets candid:
In a previous interview with Koimoi, Manoj Bajpayee discussed the Season 3 delay, emphasizing that the creators, Raj and DK, were wary of rushing the production. He urged patience, citing the three-year gap between the first two seasons, and promised that Season 3’s surprise element would be just as, if not more, impactful than Season 2.
The actor discussed the financial aspects of his involvement in The Family Man during an appearance on the Unfiltered by Samdish YouTube channel. When asked if he was paid like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan, Manoj Bajpayee dismissed the idea, claiming that OTT platforms are no different than traditional producers when it comes to compensating actors.
He expressed dissatisfaction with his pay, implying an industry-wide disparity, implying that a white actor might receive better terms for a similar role. Manoj Bajpayee drew parallels to global brands’ use of cheap labour in Chinese factories, jokingly referring to himself as “cheap labour” in this context. “Gora aayega, show karega toh de denge” (They will pay if a white actor does the show). He also added, “Brands have factories in China because the labour is cheap. Likewise, I am the cheap labour here.”
