After The Family Man Season 2 released to positive feedback last week, one character incredibly unexpectedly became an immediate hit on line as “Chellam sir”, a man of peculiar taste and unrealistic distrust of other individuals. At a crucial juncture in the story, actor Manoj Bajpayee’s Srikant Tiwari, a spy, sought his enable in stopping a terrorist attack from taking place. The character inspired a wave of viral Twitter memes, and now, Uttar Pradesh Police has joined the exciting with their personal spin to the meme, and Manoj Bajpayee has responded to it.
The Uttar Pradesh police tweeted about its “all-weather” helpline “112” and stated it is a “true saviour for all seasons”, just like Chellam Sir. Responding to the tweet Manoj Bajpayee, hailed Chellam sir “rockstar”.

Appearing only at critical junctures in Amazon Prime’s hit show, Chellam sir guided Srikant’s hunt for terrorists, providing him insights and clues that he would not have discovered otherwise. Always attempting to disguise his actual identity, Chellam sir also changed his phones routinely and when even turned into a newspaper hawker to hide his actual identity. The character, portrayed by Tamil actor Uday Mahesh, became an immediate hit for being the ultimate troubleshooter for Srikant. It has sparked a meme riot on social media.
A user picked an Elon Musk meme in which the Tesla and Space X CEO ask, “Chellam sir, what should I tweet?”

Manoj Bajpayee also responded to a different tweet by Amazon Prime, which attempted to have a lighthearted dig at the actor who is set to seem in Netflix India’s new show. Netflix had attempted to market its show by capitalising on the reputation of The Family Man Season 2.
Amazon asked ‘Srikant’ no matter if he felt a drastic transform in moving into a different job, applying a well-known dialogue from the show: “Srikant, job badalne mein bada drastic change hua hoga na?”
Hahahahaha ???????? that is best class banter !! Job nahi part badla hai !!!

The actor replied it is not the job that has changed but its nature.
