Playful revelation and major cliffhangers teased by the cast fuel speculation as anticipation builds for the next chapter in Phulera.
New Delhi, July 7, 2025
Acclaimed actress Neena Gupta, recognized as the memorable and at times acerbic Manju Devi, who is a fan favourite in the recently renewed and anticipated new season of Panchayat, made some waves by saying in a friendly chat with the cast and crew of the show that the script for Season 5 has “already leaked.” Since then, fans have had a ball posting theories and means of how Neena Gupta is misleading or hinting at events that will unfold in season five.
Adding to the intrigue, series writer Chandan Kumar teased four major cliffhangers awaiting resolution. Among them: the suspenseful mystery of “Who shot Pradhan Ji?”, the outcome of Phulera’s brewing village elections, Abhishek Tripathi’s romantic trajectory with Rinky, and his ongoing struggle to crack the civil services exam.
The creative team even mentioned that production on 4 has already started many months ago, before the launch of 3, demonstrating the show’s plan for methodical long-term storytelling. Season 4 was recently released to rave reviews and, interestingly enough, highlights the political and emotional tensions of rural life even more than in previous seasons, further solidifying Panchayat as a part of the larger cultural zeitgeist. The tongue-in-cheek “spoiler” from Neena Gupta – that would suggest Manju Devi may engage in the electoral doldrums – only intensifies the fan excitement, as they eagerly await the unpredictable adventures inside the charming space of Phulera’s Panchayat institution in the next season.
