‘Panchayat’s deputy head Prahlad Cha
It is impossible to talk about OTT’s most popular and great web series and not mention ‘Panchayat’. All three seasons of this series have been hits. Meanwhile, Faizal Malik, who played the role of Deputy Pradhan Prahlad Cha, has expressed his happiness after the tremendous success of the series. The actor’s path to stardom has been completely different from the story of any Bollywood fairy tale. At the age of 22, Faizal reached Mumbai with his dream of making a big name in the film industry. He thought that it was very easy to earn money by acting, but when he came to the city of dreams, he faced a reality that he had not even thought of. Sleeping at railway stations and filling his stomach with people’s leftover food, Faizal’s early days were full of many difficulties, but he never gave up and today he is at a point where he needs no introduction.
Faisal’s luck shone because of this film, not Panchayat
Anurag Kashyap entered Faisal Malik’s film career and his luck shone. Both of them met through a common friend and soon made a plan to start a production company together, but their plan did not succeed. At the same time, filmmaker Kashyap got immersed in the casting of his most famous film till date, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. In this low-budget film, everyone from the spotboy to the driver got a chance to work on screen and Faisal got the role of Inspector Gopal Singh. Despite the success of ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, Faisal had no interest in acting. He wanted to work for production by staying behind the camera. At the same time, the makers of ‘Panchayat’ were so happy with his work that they convinced him to play the role of Prahlad Pandey.
Faisal Malik got emotional on the success of Panchayat
‘Panchayat’ has become a hit web series, after Faisal’s great success, he also got many film and web series offers, but in an interview given to News 18 Showsha, he talked about the success he finally got from this series, after two decades of hard work. Faisal Malik told that the recognition he got from ‘Panchayat’, I still get emotional thinking about it.
