It’s going to be Sardar Khan vs his father Shahid Khan as Jaideep Ahlawat joins Manoj Bajpayee for his upcoming thriller series, The Family Man season 3.

A source close to the development of the project told Bollywood Hungama, “Jaideep Ahlawat has joined the star cast of The Family Man 3 and also joined the schedule in the North-Eastern state of Nagaland. The makers have kept his character strictly under wraps. Hence, there’s no information available on what role he plays in the series.”

The source further added, “Jaideep Ahlawat has become a force to reckon with in the last 4 years, more so with the acclaimed show Paatal Lok. His appearances in An Action Hero (2022), JaaneJaan (2023), Maharaj (2024), etc. further added to his popularity. Hence, one can expect that he will have a crucial role in the third season. His casting further adds to the excitement for the show.”

Jaideep Ahlawat and Manoj Bajpayee will be reuniting 12 years after the iconic Gangs of Wasseypur where Jaideep played Shahid Khan, the father of Manoj Bajpayee’s Sardar Khan.
