‘Panchayat’ S2 to release on Prime Video in May

Season 2 of Amazon Original Series ‘Panchayat’ is set to premiere on Prime Video on May 20, the streamer announced on Monday.

The popular comedy drama series, directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, will feature actors Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta, who also starred in season one.

‘Panchayat’, which was released in 2020, followed the life of Abhishek (played by Kumar) an engineering graduate, who joins as a panchayat secretary in a remote village Phulera of Uttar Pradesh due to lack of better job options, PTI reported from Mumbai.

According to a synopsis by the streamer, the returning season will take the audience “through the hilarious and tumultuous journey” of Abhishek.

Taking on from the first season, the series delves deeper into the equation between Pradhan, Vikas, Prahlad and Manju Devi along with Abhishek, who has now settled well into the life of Phulera.

The series strengthens the collaboration between Prime Video and The Viral Fever post the success of season one and another web show ‘Hostel Daze’.

Meanwhile, Amazon’s Prime Video last week announced the launch of a movie rental service in India and unveiled a slate of 40+ original series and movies, through various partnerships and licensing deals, over the next two years in India.

“We are super excited about the launch,” Gaurav Gandhi, head of Amazon Prime Video India had said at a function in a Mumbai hotel, adding that the rental service would widen customers’ reach and choice as it enabled them to pay per movie, instead of a flat monthly fee.

Amazing and grim battle for survival. Guess it will end up in Supreme Court. All that NCLT asked Zee to do was to file a reply to Invesco petition for a EGM. Now this is getting too serious. So far Invesco has been hammered for demanding an EGM. What is Zee upto? Ofcourse my lawyer community knows better!
