Samantha Akkineni wont be able to talk about The Family Man anymore 

Samantha Akkineni is getting lots.of limelight as her digital debut is nearing release. The actress is going to play the antagonist in season 2 of 'The Family Man'. The show landed into controversy after people speculated that Samantha will be playing a suicide bomber in show's attempt to present Tamil people in bad light. Although Samantha tried to clarify that the show will not hurt sentiments of any group but now Amazon Prime Video has barred her from speaking anything about the show.

A source close to the development said, “There are always protests to certain characters or portrayals in films or series, this comes since the audience are only exposed to a small part of what to expect, which could look a certain way. In the case with Samantha’s character in The Family Man 2, people have taken an objection to her character, but they have not really seen the full range of what she portrays."

Talking further about the issue, the source said, "Amazon Prime Video like most content creators would like to avoid controversies prior to the release of their venture. The gag order to refrain from speak about the show is exactly that, so the audience feeling and sentiments that have been hurt can be assuaged.”
