In an exclusive conversation with India Today, writer Chandan Kumar said, 'The more seasons we do, the more expectations rise amongst fans. That is very challenging. Our attempt is not to do something completely out of the box. The story needs to be connected. There needs to be a prelude to everything that is happening. We don't do anything random. We keep things interconnected." 'The feedback was almost similar to what we had anticipated," Kumar reveals. 'Similarly, while Season 4 is releasing, we already have the direction and script for Season 5. We don't take the audience's love for granted. Every decision is made keeping in mind the world we've created and the people who've grown with it," he added. Recently, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Neena Gupta reflected on Panchayat's phenomenal success. She said, 'I could have never thought this would be so successful. The writing was good, which is why we all said yes to it. The cast was good and I knew many of them. It was fun. But I never imagined it would be such a grand success." Panchayat revolves around the story of Abhishek (Jitendra Kumar), an MBA aspirant who becomes the Panchayat Secretary of Phulera, a small village. Meanwhile, Neena Gupta plays the role of Manju Devi, the Panchayat chief. Panchayat season 4 boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Raghuvir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, Ashok Pathak, and Pankaj Jha, alongside Jitendra Kumar and Neena Gupta. The latest season of Panchayat is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Panchayat 4 received mixed reviews from all. News18 Showsha gave the show a 4-star rating. 'The biggest letdown this season is the sluggish pacing and narrow focus. The entire narrative revolves around the election battle, with little to no development in the other subplots that once gave Panchayat its layered charm. We're left waiting until the second half of the final episode just to find out the election results, by then, the excitement has long worn off," a part of our review read. First Published:
