Helmed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, the series saw the return of Jitendra Kumar and Neena Gupta along with others like Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy and Biswapati Sarkar in pivotal roles. In an interview with PTI, Neena Gupta dished out on why the series is winning hearts across India with its light-hearted comedy and simple concept.
She said, ''What I've realised is that 'Panchayat' has a certain kind of innocence. That's why it touches people's hearts. It's a very well-written season. There are some new characters also. It was fun to shoot again. We shot in the same village (in Madhya Pradesh) and stayed in the same hotel,'' Gupta reprised her role as pradhan (village head) Manju Devi on the Amazon Prime Original series.
''Manju Devi's growth as a character will be slow because the kind of woman she is, she won't suddenly change. She is a very simple woman and doesn't want much from life. So the change has to come softly and slowly. And this is the flavour of 'Panchayat'. There are no abrupt shifts. The script flows very smoothly,'' Neena Gupta said of her character.
