Prime Video is leaning hard into crossover culture as it brings Srikant Tiwari back into the spotlight. From creator led GRWM content to FMCG and grooming tie ins, The Family Man season 3 promo campaign feels like a tour through everything that shapes his chaotic middle class life.
Instead of a standard trailer and poster rollout, the platform has chosen to orbit Srikant through the people and products that now sit inside his universe. Coffee, skincare, legal advice and kids trying to make their dad pookie all become narrative devices that tease the new season without giving the plot away.
How does a GRWM with Bae reboot a middle class spy
The most talked about piece of the slate is the surprise Get Ready With Me collab that pairs Srikant with Prime Video Bae Ananya Panday. Watching a man who is exhausted by both the system and terrorists stand in front of a mirror while a creator styles him for a life on the run is peak twenty twenty five crossover energy.
The video plays on the mismatch between internet aesthetics and Srikant stubborn practicality. He needs outfits that work in hiding. She wants him to look main feed ready. The humour lands because both versions of reality feel believable, and the clash mirrors the way audiences live between serious news and short form entertainment.

The spot also gives younger viewers a familiar format to latch onto. GRWM is a native language on social platforms, and dropping a weary intelligence officer into that format instantly makes him feel more contemporary without changing who he is.
How do brand integrations deepen the Family Man world
Rewinding to the earlier promos, the coffee partnership with Bru picks up a thread from the end of season two and flips it. The last time we saw Srikant and Suchitra, they were sharing a drink before everything faded to black. Four years later, they are again holding cups, but now their home is under attack. She scrambles for cover while he savours the brew.
The gag works on two levels. It reinforces classic Srikant behaviour prioritising a small middle class pleasure even as chaos erupts and it quietly lets the coffee brand steal the spotlight in a way that still feels true to character.
Another film focuses on the kids, now grown up because time in this universe moves faster than internet recaps. They try to make their father a little more pookie, hinting at a deliberate attempt to hook younger audiences who may have discovered the show late. A small moment where Srikant mispronounces sup as soup becomes instant meme material, the kind of detail that can live online well beyond the promo cycle.

How does Dove Man reset grooming codes for Srikant
With coffee and family moments covered, self care enters the frame through a tie in with Dove Men from HUL. Here, the brand tries to turn a man who claims to have never used a face wash into a Dove user, nudging him away from the worn out rugged stereotype toward care and grooming.
The humour lies in his resistance. He does not suddenly become a polished influencer. Instead, the film acknowledges that a man who has carried the weight of national security might still be baffled by moisturiser. For the brand, it is a way to talk about softer masculinity without abandoning the character rough edges that fans love.
How does legal advice content play into fan culture
Influencers Samay Raina, Apoorva Makhija and Tanmay Bhat step in next, offering tongue in cheek legal crisis advice to a man who is apparently on the run this season. Their suggestions are impractical at best, and Srikant wastes no time calling them out.
This piece winks directly at fan culture. Audiences have always argued online about what Srikant should do in impossible situations. Here, comedians embody that chatter on screen and then get gently roasted for it. The result is a promo that feels closer to a sketch than an ad, extending the show sense of humour into creator driven spaces.

Taken together, these pieces show how a long running series can use partnerships to keep its world feeling alive between seasons. Rather than dropping one big trailer and moving on, The Family Man season 3 promo campaign uses coffee, skincare, creators and kids to reintroduce its hero from every angle, proving that smart integrations can deepen character rather than distract from story.
