Manoj Bajpayee throws cold water on The Family Man-Farzi crossover: “I don't think Raj and DK would want to mix it”

Fans hoping for a crossover between two of Raj and DK's popular series, The Family Man and Farzi, might have to adjust their expectations. In a recent interview, the lead actor of The Family Man, Manoj Bajpayee, poured cold water on the idea of the two universes merging.

Following the release of Farzi, starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, viewers were quick to spot potential connections to The Family Man, leading to speculation about a shared universe. However, Bajpayee, who plays Srikant Tiwari in the espionage thriller, expressed his doubts in a conversation with Lallantop.

"I don't think this will happen," stated Bajpayee. "Right now, we have a commitment to complete the four seasons of The Family Man. But I don't think these universes will be merged because The Family Man itself is a very big universe. I don't think Raj and DK and Amazon would want to mix it with something else."

Fuelling the crossover buzz were Easter eggs in Farzi, such as a cameo by The Family Man's Chellam sir and a phone conversation with a character named "Tiwari," speculated to be a reference to Srikant Tiwari. However, Bajpayee's comments suggest creators might be focusing on building their worlds for now.

The third season of The Family Man is still awaiting its filming schedule.

Speaking of the professional front, Manoj is currently bagging praises for his performance in Netflix’s latest series, Killer Soup. Besides this, he is also hosting the third instalment of the Secret franchise. The docu-series, Secrets of the Buddha Relics, is already available on Discovery+ and will premiere on Discovery Channel on February 26.
