The first teaser for “Panchayat” Season 4 was released yesterday, showing the residents of Phulera preparing for elections and teasing an epic face-off between Raghubir Yadav’s Pradhan Ji and Durgesh Kumar’s Bhushan.

A single line of dialogue turned actor Durgesh Kumar into a familiar face a few years back. His viral meme-worthy line from “Panchayat” Season 2 played a key role in securing him a larger role in Season 3. This was followed by a supporting part in the Oscar-nominated “Laapataa Ladies”. Despite the success of these projects, Durgesh has revealed that he continues to struggle with securing more work.

It surpassed popular series like “Panchayat”, “Mirzapur” and “Citadel: Honey Bunny” to claim this position.

The two-minute-17-second-long trailer opens with a new Sachiv (secretary) arriving in Phulera and making a call to the local MLA.

The 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) wrapped up in Goa on Tuesday following the screening of 270 international and Indian films – comprising 25 feature films and 20 non-feature films. The concluding ceremony honoured “Endless Borders” with the Best Film Award, recognised “Panchayat” Season 2 as the Best Web-Series, presented actor-director Rishab Shetty with the Special Jury Award for his film “Kantara”, and bestowed the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award upon Hollywood legend Michael Douglas.
