Mumbai, July 10 (NationPress) Neena Gupta, together with the writer of 'Panchayat', Chandan Kumar, playfully hinted at a captivating twist in the forthcoming season 5.
Alluding to a storyline involving elections, the pair unveiled intriguing insights about the new plot during an exclusive discussion with IANS prior to the official announcement of the next season. In a cheerful exchange with the cast just before the debut of Panchayat Season 4, IANS brought up an upcoming twist set to unfold in Season 5. Neena Gupta laughed heartily upon hearing it and confessed that the script had indeed been leaked.
We queried the cast ahead of the release of season 4, asking, “In this season, there are three burning questions fans are eager to know. First, who will claim victory in the elections? Second, how far will the romance between Sachiv ji and Rinky ji progress? And third, will Sachiv ji finally pass the exam or not? Can you provide any insights on these?” In response, writer Chandan Kumar mentioned, “There are three questions, plus one more: who shot Pradhan Ji? Therefore, I believe you must watch the season for answers to all four questions. You will encounter numerous answers, some straightforward and others with twists. I think this will make for a fantastic Season 4.”
Neena then asked IANS, “What are your thoughts? Who do you believe will win?” We replied, “We think Manju Devi will emerge victorious. However, something unexpected may occur afterward. There could be a mistake in the counting process, leading Manju Devi to challenge the results through an appeal, ultimately being declared the election winner.” Upon hearing this, the 'Badhaai Ho' actress exclaimed, “The script has been leaked. Prepare for the next season — the script is already out!”
On July 7, Prime Video made an official announcement regarding the fifth season of the beloved rural comedy-drama Panchayat. The platform shared the first-look poster on social media, reintroducing fans to the cherished characters from the fictional village of Phulera.
