Telugu film star Nagarjuna is the protective father bear when it comes to the well-being of his kids. The veteran actor is reportedly furious at the unnecessary trolling daughter-in-law Samantha Akkineni has had to bear over the last week, ever since controversy erupted over The Family Man 2 trailer. He is angry and annoyed at social media users’ criticism of the show and of Samantha, even before The Family Man 2 has aired on Amazon Prime Video, and only on the basis of a two-minute trailer.
Those aware of the matter must know that The Family Man 2 actress Samantha Akkineni has been singled out for the perceived insult of Tamils in the series. She has received the most criticism, trolling and brickbats on Twitter for The Family Man – Tamil Eelam fracas. Neither Manoj Bajpayee, the lead protagonist, nor makers Raj & DK have faced flak over the trailer.
Tamil audiences feel let down by what they perceive as disloyalty on the part of Samantha Akkineni for enacting a supposedly Tamil rebel in the series. They say that they have accepted and welcomed Samantha with open arms in Tamil films, despite her being Telugu, and did not expect the slight from her.
As per reports in the media, all this has not gone down well with Nagarjuna, who is as protective of Samantha Akkineni as he is of sons Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni. Nagarjuna is as furious about the whole thing as he is worried for Samantha. He has reined in his anger with difficulty, and only hopes that things go smoothly for his dear daughter-in-law, and The Family Man 2 releases on Amazon Prime Video without further hurdles.
The Family Man 2 releases on Amazon Prime Video on 4th June.
