Starring National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee in the lead role, The Family Man (2019) has been a great success on Amazon Prime Video. The webseries, which premiered on the streaming media giant last year, garnered an overwhelming response from various quarters.
Buoyed up by the huge success of the season one, the makers went ahead with season two. While the second season of the edge-of-the-seat thriller is currently under post-production, the makers are set to take the show forward with a season three. Yes, you read it right!
Talking to a publication, creator Raj Nidimoru opened up about the premiere date of The Family Man 2 and his plans for the third season. “We had a release-strategy planned for this year. It takes four months to complete processes like sound, music creation, and VFX work. Also, the show must be readied for airing in various countries, as will be the case with a webseries. This involves processes like the addition of subtitles. We need to see how many studios will function, and if there will be some relaxations (in lockdown measures) so that we can use them.”
When asked about The Family Man 3, Raj revealed, “Part three is being conceptualised. The world will be different (after the Coronavirus pandemic). Since we want season three to be relevant, we are trying to comprehend (a plots that) would make sense in a post-COVID world. Different countries are behaving differently. If our show will be set in some of them, we ought to take cognisance of how they behave and manage (themselves), whether they emerge as leaders, or see economic growth.”
Apart from Manoj Bajpayee, The Family Man 2 features Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Sharad Kelkar, Darshan Kumaar, Dalip, Shahab Ali and popular South Indian actress Samantha Akkineni.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
