Manoj Bajpayee Announces The Family Man Season 3 Release Date
The Family Man Season 3, starring Manoj Bajpayee, is one of the most anticipated web series of 2025. Directed by Raj and DK, the upcoming season promises to delve deeper into the personal and professional struggles of Srikant Tiwari, portrayed by Manoj. This time, the story will explore high-stakes national security threats and rising geopolitical tensions, particularly in India's Northeast region. As anticipation builds, the actor has officially confirmed the release date, sending fans into a frenzy.
According to Rediff, Manoj has confirmed to Subhash K Jha that season 3 of the hit spy-thriller series will premiere in either the last week of October or the first week of November, which indicates around Diwali 2025. With shooting officially finished, the actor announced, 'The shooting is complete," putting an end to the long wait and uncertainty.
However, a final release date of the show is yet to be announced by the makers.
When asked about the show's popularity throughout the years, the actor replied, 'When we started, we had no clue The Family Man would go this far. Is this the most popular work I've done? I'd say most definitely yes."
Apart from Manoj, The Family Man Season 3 also features celebs like Jaideep Ahlawat, Nimrat Kaur, Sharib Hashmi, Priyamani and Sharad Kelkar in significant roles.
On working with such acclaimed actors, Manoj said, 'I appreciate working with actors that are as committed to getting it right as I am."
Last month, the makers dropped a 58-second teaser of the new season, taking fans on a nostalgic ride as it begins with highlights from the first and second seasons before offering a sneak peek into what's coming next.
The season 3 teaser begins in a train cabin, where Manoj's Srikant Tiwari is asked by a ticket checker what he does for a living. He responds, 'I am a life and relationship coach." His wife, Suchitra (played by Priyamani), sits alongside him and rolls her eyes. The teaser then introduces Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur, who will play the antagonists in the next season. These fresh entries have piqued fans' interest, and they are eager to see how the story progresses.

This actor played one of cinema's greatest villains but once couldn't pay Rs 400 to discharge his wife after childbirth; survived a near-fatal accident, died prematurely at 48
An image instantly forms in our minds when we hear the dialogue, 'Arrey o Sambha, kitne aadmi thay?' Because there was only one actor who could make that line iconic for generations to come — Amjad Khan, who played one of Hindi cinema's greatest villains of all time, Gabbar Singh, in Salim-Javed's Sholay. Amjad Khan was the elder son of veteran character actor Jayant, who was a well-known supporting actor. Amjad started his journey in the film industry as a child actor in minor roles, appearing in films that also featured his father, like Nazneen (1951) and Maya (1961). In 1965, he was supposed to be launched as a lead actor in Patthar Ke Sanam, but the film was shelved. He eventually made his debut in Hindustan Ki Kasam in 1977. However, Amjad struggled to find roles after his debut, and due to the lack of work, he faced financial constraints in his personal life. One particularly difficult period was when his wife gave birth to their son, and he didn't have the money to pay the hospital bills. Amjad's son, Shadaab Khan, spoke about this in an old interview with The Times of India. He shared how his father was embarrassed and didn't show up at the hospital because he couldn't pay the bill. 'He didn't have money to pay so that my mother (Shehla Khan) could be discharged from the hospital I was born in. She started crying. My dad was not showing up at the hospital; he was ashamed to show his face,' he shared. However, it was Hindustan Ki Kasam director Chetan Anand who came to his rescue and paid the bill on his behalf. The day his son was born turned out to be a day of good luck for Amjad. That was also the day he signed Sholay, the film that would catapult him from a struggling actor to an overnight sensation. Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, the writers of Sholay, had originally wanted Danny Denzongpa to play Gabbar Singh. However, due to date issues, Danny backed out of the project. This turned out to be a blessing for Amjad, as Salim Khan recommended him after being impressed by his acting prowess. Amjad Khan understood the magnitude of the opportunity Sholay presented—a chance to go from struggling actor to star. Perhaps that's why he was nervous while playing the role. Determined to embody Gabbar, Amjad went all in. According to Rediff, he wore army fatigues purchased from Chor Bazaar, slung a bullet belt over his shoulder, and even blackened his teeth to make the tobacco-chewing Gabbar Singh more convincing. Despite his commitment, his nervousness got the better of him. Anupama Chopra mentioned in her book Making of a Classic that Amjad and director Ramesh Sippy struggled to find the right tone for Gabbar during the first two days of shooting. Amjad couldn't deliver a single good take during the initial schedule, prompting Ramesh Sippy to give him a break and reconsider him for the next schedule. Meanwhile, whispers began among the crew about replacing him. Amjad's voice was also a concern. Both Salim-Javed and Ramesh Sippy felt his voice wasn't powerful enough for the villainous role. Feeling guilty about recommending him, Salim-Javed even suggested replacing him or dubbing his voice. The book states: 'If you aren't satisfied with Amjad, change him,' they told him. But the director decided to give Amjad another chance—and the rest, as they say, is history. However, once Amjad found out about this conversation, he was so hurt that he never worked with Salim-Javed or Ramesh Sippy again. Just a year after Sholay's release, Amjad suffered a near-fatal car accident while traveling from Mumbai to Goa. The steering wheel had collided with his chest. The actor was left unconscious with a punctured lung and was admitted to the hospital, where his Sholay co-star and close friend Amitabh Bachchan came to his aid. It was Big B who signed the hospital admission papers and ensured that Amjad received the necessary medical care. Amjad Khan's family was also injured in the accident and no one was there to take responsibility for an important surgery for the actor. 'The scenario was grave. He was unconscious and breathing with difficulty. He needed immediate surgery. The doctors did not advise shifting him to Mumbai while his family had been moved to Mumbai,' recalled Bachchan in an interview to Filmfare. 'The document absolves the doctors of any untoward incident during an operation. When none of the production members were willing to give the signature, I took it on myself and signed the paper. I spoke to his family in Mumbai and they gave consent. The surgery went off well. I organised for a chartered flight to take him back to Mumbai soon after. He survived and recovered to be back with us on the set. The incident brought us even closer,' the actor had said. Although Sholay had made Amjad a star and his career was filled with offers, the physical trauma from the accident would haunt him in the years to come. Despite his health issues, he starred in many iconic films post-Sholay, including Satyajit Ray's acclaimed Shatranj Ke Khiladi. He went on to feature in several hit films such as Hum Kisise Kum Naheen, Inkaar, Ganga Ki Saugand, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Barsaat Ki Ek Raat, and Satte Pe Satta—many of them alongside Amitabh Bachchan. But the accident he had narrowly survived in 1976 left long-term effects on his health. He began gaining weight, which further deteriorated his condition. Amjad Khan died prematurely at the age of 48 in 1992.

Helmed by Mohit Suri of 'Ek Villain" and 'Aashiqui 2" fame, the movie is produced by Yash Raj Films. The film also marked the highest worldwide opening weekend for a debutant-led film. Pandey is actor Ananya Pandey's cousin. The film's impressive three-day run at the box office has beat lifetime collection of other debuts of star kids like Alia Bhatt's 'Student of the Year" and Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar's 'Dhadak", which earned Rs 70 crore and Rs 73 crore (lifetime). 'Saiyaara" follows Krish, played by Pandey, a fiery, ambitious musician, and Vaani, played by Padda, a shy lyricist recovering from heartbreak. The chemistry of the lead pair, built through soulful songwriting sessions and raw emotional moments, is the heart of the film, reads the official logline. 'Saiyaara" opened with Rs 22 crore, earned Rs 26.25 crore on day two and it has made Rs 35.75 crore on day three according to Yash Raj Films in the domestic box office amounting to 84 crore. In the international box office, the film has made Rs 17.25 crore. It is also Suri's highest opening among his other films — 'Ek Villain" earned Rs 16 crore on day one, 'Aashiqui 2" made over Rs 6 crore and 'Murder 2" earned almost 7 crore on the first day of their release. The film is the first and only romance movie to gross over Rs 100 crore in its opening weekend. The film is among the highest grossing opening weekend alongside films like Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhava" (Rs 122.43 crore), Salman Khan's 'Sikandar" (Rs 90.25 crore) and Akshay Kumar's ensemble comedy 'Housefull 5" (Rs 91.83 crore). Yash Raj Films have requested exhibitors to not hike ticket prices in order to keep them accessible for the youth supporting the film. The production house had also previously decided that Pandey and Padda not engage in promotions of the film. The music of 'Saiyaara", which features seven songs composed by Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nisami, is already a chartbuster. Alongside Pandey and Padda, the romance also stars Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola and Shaad Randhawa in key roles.
