After
debuting
in
Bollywood
alongside
Ayushmann
Khurrana
in
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan,
Jitendra
Kumar
returned
to
the
small
screen
with
Neena
Gupta
for
the
Amazon
Prime
Video
series
Panchayat.
The
highly
appreciated
comedy-drama
will
now
have
a
season
2,
confirmed
the
lead
actor.
The
actor
revealed
that
the
show
is
coming
back
for
a
season
2,
"Actually,
the
lockdown
started
soon
after
we
finished
the
first
season,
and
things
came
to
a
halt.
Writing
and
story
lineup
for
the
second
season
is
already
underway.
Official
planning
will
be
done
after
the
lockdown
is
lifted.
But
yes,
it's
on."
Jitendra
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Chaman
Bahaar
with
Netflix.
Talking
about
the
film
he
revealed,
"It
is
a
one-sided
love
story
of
a
paan
shop
owner.
The
story
is
about
a
young
man
who
runs
a
paan
shop
but
does
not
get
good
business.
Suddenly
a
beautiful
girl
shifts
in
the
locality
with
her
family,
and
he
falls
for
her
at
the
first
sight.
Soon,
young
men
start
flocking
to
his
paan
shop
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
the
girl
who
lives
opposite
the
shop.
As
a
result,
he
starts
getting
good
business.
But
now
also
he
isn't
happy
because
he
doesn't
like
all
these
men
looking
at
her
and
talking
about
the
girl
he
admires!
Only,
he
looks
at
the
girl
from
a
distance
but
can
never
gather
the
courage
to
talk
to
her."
Jitendra
Kumar
With
Neena
Gupta
In
Panchayat
Jitendra
Kumar
is
seen
playing
the
character
of
a
small
town
guy
once
again
in
Chaman
Bahaar.
When
asked
what
drove
him
to
the
character
he
said,
"This
is
something
that
we
get
to
see
often,
especially
in
small
towns.
If
you
have
a
crush
on
someone
in
school,
you
cannot
talk
to
that
person.
This
is
such
a
common
thing
and
yet
we
don't
get
to
see
such
a
thing
on
the
screen
a
lot.
So,
I
thought
the
idea
was
fresh."

Kumar
In
Chaman
Bahaar
The

synopsis
of
the
film
reads,
"His
fortunes
start
to
change
dramatically
when
a
Hordes
of
boys
start
following
the
teenage
girl
from
the
family
and
set
up
an
"adda"
at
Billu's
shop.
His
business
flourishes
tremendously
but
Billu
is
now
more
unhappy
than
ever,
as
he
has
fallen
for
the
girl
himself!"
