Prakash Jha On Aashram Season 4

Filmmaker Prakash Jha, who serves as the creator, writer, and director of Aashram, recently engaged in a discussion with OTTplay alongside Aaditi Pohankar, who portrays Pammi in the series. Their conversation encompassed a range of topics, including their perspectives on contemporary content and Aaditi's experience balancing her roles in Imtiaz Ali’s She and Aashram, as both series were filmed simultaneously. When the topic of violence in media was raised, Aaditi offered an insightful viewpoint, which Jha echoed, suggesting that Aashram Season 4 may delve into a more sinister aspect of the narrative.

Regarding the portrayal of violence in streaming content, Aaditi Pohankar remarked, “I believe we are all influenced by the times we live in. Currently, this is what resonates with audiences, and as time progresses, perspectives will evolve. The essence of stories like Aashram embodies hope and faith, which remain resilient; in fact, they are amplified through Pammi. My character has transitioned from a faith rooted in innocence to one grounded in strength, which has been my journey thus far. There is also an underlying hope for a brighter future and the belief that change is possible through perseverance. Just as paper ignites when exposed to fire, it symbolizes the energy that drives transformation.”

Prakash Jha remarked, “You may undergo personal transformation. Additionally, if you find it challenging to alter external circumstances, you might choose to change yourself, potentially adopting a darker persona.” When it was suggested that he might have hinted at Aashram Season 4, Aaditi responded, “Yes, perhaps that is the hint.” Jha further stated, “I have no knowledge of that.”

Given that he had already suggested a hint, we inquired about his earlier statement regarding his desire to delegate the directorial responsibilities for Aashram Season 4. Aaditi interjected, “We will not allow that to occur,” while Prakash Jha commented, “I am making every effort. Aashram 4 is currently filled with potential. When the time arrives, we will assess the situation. My earlier remarks about going darker were in the context of our discussion on genre. Anything is possible; the circumstances may become darker, or we may. Narratives are not defined by brightness; they revolve around incidents rather than mere events. Without conflict, there is no story.”

Currently, there are no official announcements or confirmations regarding Aashram Season 4. However, it is clear that a new season is forthcoming, as fans are eagerly anticipating its release.
