Anant V Joshi is set to step into the role of Anand ‘Annu’ Mishra in the upcoming fifth season of Gullak, replacing Vaibhav Raj Gupta, who previously played the beloved character. The casting change marks a notable shift for the popular slice-of-life series that has built a strong connection with audiences over the years.

Streaming on Sony LIV, ‘Gullak’ has become one of the most relatable family dramas in the Indian OTT space. Created by Shreyansh Pandey and produced by The Viral Fever, the show revolves around the everyday lives of the Mishra family, capturing the warmth, struggles and small joys of a middle-class household, PTI reported from Mumbai.

The series follows father Santosh, mother Shanti, and their sons Annu and Aman, presenting stories that resonate through simple yet emotionally grounded moments.

While there has been no official word yet on the reason behind the change, the introduction of Anant V Joshi in the role is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the character as the story progresses into its fifth season.

With its rooted storytelling and strong ensemble, ‘Gullak’ continues to remain a standout in the slice-of-life genre, and the upcoming season is likely to draw attention as viewers see how the new casting shapes the journey of the Mishra family.
