Update for Shahid & Vijay Sethupathi’s web series

The walls between Bollywood and regional cinema have now disappeared. Yash of KGF from Kannada cinema has as solid a pan-India fan base as Ranveer Kapoor and Varun Dhawan. And a Vijay Sethupathi, from Tamil cinema with an acknowledged body of work is considered as important to a project as Shahid Kapoor.The two actors are all set to share screen space for Amazon Prime Video’s series which will be directed by Raj and DK , the Goa Goan Gone duo who wrapped up the second season of The Family Man.

“It’s a plot about two men whose lives intersect in an unexpected way. Nothing like this has been done in India for the OTT platform. Shahid and Vijay have parallel tracks. Their stories are separate in most of the plot,” says the source,

Raj and DK introduce another South Indian star Samantha Akkineni in The Family Man . Samantha too has a role parallel to Manoj Bajpai in The Family Man.
