Amazon Prime Video drops the first-look of The Family Man

Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the first-look poster of their hugely anticipated webseries The Family Man. It features National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee as the protagonist, who plays the character of Srikant Tiwari in the series. What makes the first-look poster of the series special is the fact that it has been shot on a OnePlus smartphone.

The Family Man is created by filmmaker duo Krishna D.K. and Raj Nidimoru. The trailer for the webseries is slated to release on September 5, while the entire show will be available for viewing towards the end of the month across 200 countries and territories.


Apart from the first-look poster, OnePlus has also planned to set up interactive billboards across India that audiences can engage with using the camera on their smartphones. It will allow them to access exclusive virtual content about The Family Man.

Talking about the association, Gaurav Gandhi, Director and Country GM, Amazon Prime Video India said in a statement, “India is a mobile-first country and a large number of our customers love to watch Amazon Prime Video on their smartphones. We constantly look to engage and delight this fast-growing customer base with our compelling content and innovative marketing initiatives. We are excited about this unique collaboration with OnePlus for our latest Amazon Original The Family Man, which includes the first reveal of the character poster, that was shot exclusively on a OnePlus phone.  We look forward to delighting our ardent mobile-first customers with this sneak peek into the compelling and gritty world of The Family Man”.

“With our smartphones, we are constantly thinking of different ways in which we can engage our community in new ways. Our association with Amazon Prime Video is a result of the synergy between both brands and our common philosophy and it seemed like a very natural fit to unveil the new Amazon Original Series, The Family Man character poster through an image shot on a OnePlus device,” said Vikas Agarwal, General Manager OnePlus India.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
