In a way, Amazon Prime Video‘s original series, The Family Man 2, greatly helped Samantha’s career. The senior actress got nationwide recognition with her portrayal of the Raji character in the series. She was widely lauded for her brilliant performance. More importantly for Samantha, she could come to a conclusion that she had it in her to play ultra bold roles and the audience are more than willing to encourage her if she pursues the same. Following the super success of The Family Man 2, Samantha started focusing on her Bollywood career. She signed a project with Tapsee Pannu, who would be producing the project. Sam has also reportedly signed an OTT project that will be helmed by Raj and DK, the men behind The Family Man 2.
Now, Samantha‘s ex-husband Naga Chaitanya is set to foray in the OTT space with another one of Amazon Prime original series. The series will be directed by Vikram K Kumar and it is so very close to commencing the shoot. Chaitanya will be seen as a journalist in this horror drama series. He is hoping to revamp his image with the seies. Also, this is the first time he is experimenting around in his decade-long career as an actor.
Samantha had already attained an image makeover with Amazon Prime’s The Family Man 2 and Naga Chaitanya is looking for something very similar now. He too is said to be hoping to build a career in Bollywood. While he already onboarded Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and played a key role in the film, Chaitanya would be hoping that the web series directed by Vikram will be the real deal for him.
Well, Amazon Prime helped Samantha revamp her image with The Family Man 2 and the series had a positive impact on her career. The fact that the Hindi audience immensely enjoyed Samantha’s red-hot glamour feast in the Hindi dubbed version of Pushpa adds to the point. Now, Naga Chaitanya will be hoping that his Amazon Prime original series will be of great help to his own career.
