Samantha Akkineni has been in the headlines ever since the trailer of The Family Man 2 released. The teaser got much appreciation and Samantha who plays the LTTE Rebel got rave applause for her role leaving the audience intrigued about the show's arrival.
Meanwhile, the show has also courted controversy as a section of Tamilaians have raised objections over Samantha’s role as LTTE Rebel. Meanwhile, Nagarjuna who has come to know about the premature protest raised his concerns for Samantha.
Apparently, Nagarjuna is worried about the protests, who is a doting father and caring towards his children and as he considers Samantha as daughter of the family has made him more concerned.
Meanwhile, show makers issued a statement which reads, "Some assumptions and impressions have been made based on just a couple of shots in the trailer. Many of our lead cast members, as well as key members of the creative & writing team, are Tamilians."
