Panchayat 3 actor Durgesh Kumar aka Bhushan is still struggling, says 'not getting good projects'

Despite his success in the popular series Panchayat, actor Durgesh Kumar, known for his role as Bhushan, aka Banrakas, says he is still struggling to get good film projects. In an interview with IndianExpress, Durgesh shared that even after showcasing his talent in three seasons of Panchayat, he is not getting offers for major commercial films. Durgesh¡¯s journey to success was tough. It took him 12 years, during which he faced two bouts of depression and lost a job at the National School of Drama. Despite these challenges, his talent in the panchayat hasn¡¯t yet led to big roles.
