Mumbai: Manoj Bajpayee and Jaideep Ahlawat are reuniting for The Family Man 3. The duo had only good things to talk about each other. In the interview with PTI, the actors talked about their work and hoped the third instalment of the show would be accepted by the audience, just like seasons one and two. 

“…I was only thinking, ‘I hope that the day he is asking me to shoot, I’m not doing anything around same time. But my timeline matched, and I did not ask anything. In the beginning, I did not ask how many scenes are there with sir, I was like, ‘Somewhere, we will meet sometime or the other'," said Ahlawat.

I like Jaideep’s work a lot, especially in ‘Paatal Lok’, that's why I talk about ‘Paatal Lok’ again and again. He has done such a good job."  

Ahlawat responded, "There is a lot of great work that he has done. If you look at his every performance, then that in itself will become a master class for many actors, I’m saying this very genuinely..."

Bajpayee stated that fans are awaiting the third sesason. "I was coming from Hyderabad and the air hostesses, they all asked for photographs. I went there, got myself photographed and then suddenly all of them unanimously asked me, ‘Sir, when will ‘The Family Man’ come?’ I said, ‘I’m going for its promotion and it will come out’," said the actor. 

He also added that he had managed to create a fan base among youngsters. "The Family Man is the one which started it for me. Children between the ages of 7 to 13 years were never my audience, but now they have seen so many of my movies on OTT because of The Family Man," said the veteran actor. 

 Bajpayee portrays intelligence officer Srikant Tiwari, while Ahlawat plays the role of the antagonist Rukma in the third season of The Family Man.
