In a conversation with Lallantop, Manoj Bajpayee addressed the speculation, stating, "I don't think this will happen." He emphasized the team's current commitment to completing the four seasons of The Family Man. According to him, The Family Man itself constitutes a vast universe, and he believes Raj and DK, along with the OTT platform, may not be inclined to merge it with another entity.
Despite Easter eggs in Farzi, like a cameo by The Family Man's Chellam sir and a phone conversation with a character named Tiwari, linked to Srikant Tiwari, Bajpayee's remarks indicate a focus on the individual development of each series for the time being.
