Neena Gupta steps into the shoes of Manju Devi, the village Pradhan and a homemaker, showcasing her versatility in yet another remarkable role. Gupta’s initial acceptance of the script was influenced by the positive response to TVF’s previous projects and the prospect of collaborating with Raghubir Yadav and Jitendra once again.

Speaking of Yadav, he takes on the character of Brij Bhushan Dubey, the husband of Manju Devi. The connection between the cast members goes beyond the screen, as Yadav’s student, Chandan Roy, lands the role of Vikas, the office assistant. Roy, recalling the serendipitous turn of events, revealed that a chance call from a friend led him to audition for a small role in the series. His journey took him to Bhopal, where he met the TVF team, and with the stroke of fate, he not only received the script for Vikas but also secured the role.

Adding a touch of behind-the-scenes magic, Deepak Kumar Mishra stepped in to capture the one-day portion initially offered to Roy, completing the ensemble that brings Panchayat to life. As we eagerly await the announcement of the release date for Panchayat Season 3, these insights into the cast selection process only heighten the anticipation for the rural drama’s return.
