James Farrell, head of international originals for Amazon Studios, said during a TCA summer press tour panel Saturday that hopes are high for The Family Man, an action drama launching in September.…
. Per Amazon’s description, the show is “an edgy action-drama series, which tells the story of a middle-class man who works for a special cell of the National Investigation Agency. While he tries to protect the nation from terrorists, he also has to protect his family from the impact of his secretive, high-pressure, and low-paying job.”
Bajpayee said the show will connect him with viewers not only in the U.S. but in 200-plus countries, in different languages. “For the first time, people who don’t speak Hindi or weren’t aware of my work” will get a chance to see him, he said. “It’s great for me to reach out to each and every corner of the world.”, the show’s co-creator, producer, director and writer, said the show has a very “pan-India” essence.
Despite the goal of reaching a broad audience, Nidimoru said nothing was watered down at Amazon’s request during production. Farrell said a reference to the “26-11 attacks,” which refers to the Mumbai terrorist attacks in November 2008, was allowed to stand because “audiences today are so smart” and the material has more impact if it is not over-explained.
“We didn’t have to underline anything,” Nidimoru said. “The more local the angle, the more global it gets. … It’s fun to see that [the character] are like you, but they’re also dissimilar.”
