Actor Sharib Hashmi says he shares a great bond with The Family Man co-star Manoj Bajpayee and was eagerly looking forward to reprise his role of JK Talpade in the show’s upcoming season three.
Created and directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, the action thriller series features Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class guy trying to maintain a balance between his personal and professional life as a covert intelligence officer.
Hashmi plays Talpade, a close friend and colleague of Tiwari, in the show, which started with its critically-acclaimed first season in 2019 and followed by the sophomore chapter in 2021.
The filming for the upcoming third season of the Prime Video show began last month.
“I was very excited to begin work on the third season of The Family Man, and I’m very happy with the scenes that we’ve shot. I’m waiting for the next schedule to begin, I look forward to getting back to playing JK,” the 48-year-old actor told the media in an interview.
Hashmi said reuniting with Bajpayee on The Family Man series is always “fun and special”.
“We both share a special bond, I’ve a great comfort level with him. When we become JK and Tiwari, we get into that groove and have that same banter, we pull each other’s legs. It didn’t seem that we didn’t shoot for this long,” he said.
The actor said that he never anticipated that their onscreen camaraderie will attract a huge fan-following.
Hashmi, who has garnered critical acclaim for his work in Filmistaan, Tarla, Fighter, among others, said he believes in working with utmost honesty, whether he has one scene in a film or a full-fledged role.
Hashmi’s upcoming movie is Malhar, set in rural Kutch and described as a heartwarming exploration of three intertwined tales of love, struggle, and resilience.
Malhar is set to release in theatres on June 7. The film is directed by Vishal Kumbhar and produced by Praful Pasad under the banner of V Motion Pictures.
