For now though, Singh is focused on the second season of Panchayat. “Amazon Prime Video wants us to shoot the second and third seasons together. Chandan [Kumar] is focusing on season 2, and I, on three,” he says, happy to join the charming universe of the Jitendra Kumar-starrer. “Chandan and I have always been each other’s sounding board.
There’s pressure on us to live up to the show’s legacy. If someone has created a strong foundation for me, I want to make a beautiful house for them. Panchayat opened the window to rural India. In fact, the fourth season is in discussion as well.”
