‘Family Man’ Season 3 Expected to Release in 2025 Focuses on NE: Krishna DK
The third season of “Family Man” is now in development. It is long overdue. It will be released in the next few months,” said Krishna of the Raj & DK duo.
Since the series is set in the Northeast, a major part of the shooting will also take place in the region, he added.
“We haven’t come and scouted the locations yet, but that process should start soon. We’ll start interacting with the local people here. We’re still figuring out how to get things started. It’s in the development phase,” Krishna said.
The first and second seasons of “Family Man” with Manoj Vajpayee as the lead character were released in 2019 and 2021 respectively.
When asked about the possible release date of the third season of the show, which is one of the most popular OTT series in India, the director said it would be “hopefully” in 2025.
“These things take time — post-production, release, etc. I let the studio talk about the release date. It’s a long process — shooting takes so many months, post-production takes many more months, and the release itself takes a few months,” he added.
On the subject of “Family Man” season three, Krishna refused to divulge it, saying that it will be a “significant part” in the Northeast.
“I’ll keep it a secret. You’ve seen the show – ‘Family Man’ 1 and 2. We like to go around and show different parts of the country and its geopolitics. In season 2, we touched on Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.
“This one (Season 3) I want to keep a secret about what it’s about, but you get the sense of what this show is like. We tend to be balanced and sensitive about things,” he added.
Krishna said that many local artists from the Northeast will be involved in the coming season to present a real picture of the places around the region.
One of the important things about being a “family man” is that we want to be authentic. Whichever region we are showing, we have taken form from that region to represent our own culture. It would be a crime to take a few rings. and reflects other cultures,” he added.
While attending the four-day 8th Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival (BVFF), Krishna visited the Northeast for the first time and highlighted the importance of such small festivals to promote local filmmakers.
“I have been to many film festivals like MAMI, IFFI and some big festivals around the world. But I would love to go to more regional and niche film festivals like this one because I think the opportunities in such film festivals are vast for filmmakers.
“It should be more common, especially for people who don’t have access to attend a bigger film festival. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to come here. It’s an amazing thing,” he added.
Krishna, who conducted a master class on filmmaking at the BVFF, said the youngsters were very bright and enthusiastic.
“I look at the people here and I don’t see any reason why they can’t make good films. I’m glad I’m here and whatever knowledge or mentorship I can do, I’ll do,” he added. .
