The fifth season of Gullak has arrived, marking nearly half a decade of capturing the rhythms of the middle-class Mishra family.
Anant V Joshi has stepped into the role of Annu Mishra, replacing Vaibhav Raj Gupta.
In an exclusive interview, Anant revealed that the team undertook a rigorous preparation process before the cameras started rolling.
He deliberately chose to evolve Annu to reflect the natural progression of a young adult entering the harsh realities of the outside world.
Anant noted that joining the show felt like a homecoming, given his similar family dynamic.
Harsh Mayar, who has played the youngest son since season 1, admitted that the structural shake-up placed immense pressure on the ensemble.
He emphasized the importance of giving 200% and being sure about their performance.
Season 5 of Gullak is now streaming on Sony LIV.
