Director Shreyans spoke on Gullak-4 series: Said- The series shows the middle class as the hero, this will make the audience feel a sense of belonging

‘Gullak is the story of a middle class family. Most viewers find themselves in this story. We have rarely seen the middle class as a hero, in Gullak we have shown the hero of the family and society. This is the reason why people are liking it.’ This is what Shreyansh Pandey, director of Gullak series, said. The fourth season of Gullak has been released on Sony Liv on 7 June. Director Shreyansh Pandey spoke to Dainik Bhaskar on the making of Gullak. Read its interesting stories- Gullak is the only OTT show, whose 4 seasons have been released Gullak is going to be the only OTT show whose fourth season is being released. No other show has reached this point yet. When Gullak started in 2018, I was associated with the serial as a writer. Nikhil Vijay and Amit Raj Gupta directed it. Our goal was to make a family show. It was not that there were no other family shows of TVS then, TVF had already made Tripling and Yeh Meri Family. These were also family shows. At that time also we were asked that we have already made two family shows, then why do you want to make another family show? Then I said that the story of tier-2 or tier-3 cities is yet to reach the people. From there the foundation of Gullak was laid. The shooting may have been done in 15 days, but work on its writing continued for a year. I come from Purvanchal, I have seen how much fun and sarcasm happens inside our house. Those stories were missing from OTT till then. Then we thought why not make a middle class family drama. The most important thing is that we shot it in very less 15 to 16 days. But we spent a year on its writing. When we made season 1, we never thought that we would sit and talk about season 4 like this. There are only 5 episodes in the script, but even for this many episodes the script is within 150 to 200 pages. After 5 years, new stories will be seen in the story of Gullak. It has been 5 years since Gullak. The story was different in the first season. The elder son was useless, the younger son was in the boards. Mishra ji was the only breadwinner. But just like the life of a middle-class family changes, the life of the Mishra family of Gullak has also changed. Now the elder son is working, the younger son is growing up. That is why there are new challenges and new stories in this season. This season of Gullak is on the theme of parenting. In Gullak, we have tried to give an example of parenting as well. In today’s era, parents hesitate to say anything to their children because they fear that the child may take some wrong step. May commit suicide or go into depression. I believe that this tradition is not right. Since childhood, we have lived in an environment where my father could scold me openly. But today there is fear in the minds of parents too. In such a situation, you will find in Gullak that we have shown a good example of parenting, where a father can say anything to his son. Communication between parents and children is important, only then the atmosphere of the house is also funny. Series like Gullak relieves people from stress, tickles them. The secret of Gullak’s success is that in today’s times, stress has increased a lot. People are liking light content. Such content that can be watched sitting with the family. Series like Gullak tickles us. Makes us happy from within and most importantly, it takes us back to our childhood. Another thing is that India lives in the Hindi heartland. But I feel that we have seen less stories of these cities. We have not seen many middle class heroes. But in Gullak, a middle class person is in the role of the hero. In such a situation, the audience sees themselves in it. We shot for 30 days in Bhopal. We shot for more than 30 days, we shot in Bhopal itself. The name of the locality is Ibrahimpura. After that we have shot in Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir in Professors Colony and then we have shown the police station. For the first time in this season, Gullak has been shot in the cold, so how the middle class lives in the cold will be seen this season.
