Aashram season 4 is filming as Bobby Deol returns as Baba Nirala

Been waiting to see Baba Nirala return? Aashram season 4 has moved beyond rumour: NDTV reports that Bobby Deol has started filming again, while Prakash Jha Productions has publicly marked the fourth chapter as in production. What you can rely on today is the shoot, not a release countdown.

• NDTV - Bobby Deol has begun shooting Aashram season 4 and is returning as Baba Nirala; the report was published on 24 August 2026.
• Cinema Express - Prakash Jha announced the new season from the muhurat and the outlet identifies Aashram as an Amazon MX Player series; 22 August 2026.
• The Times of India/IANS - Prakash Jha Productions posted an Aashram 4 clapperboard and said the new season was now filming; 22 August 2026.
• Cinema Express - Chandan Roy Sanyal, Aaditi Pohankar, Tridha Choudhury and Preeti Sood are reported among returning cast members; 22 August 2026.
• Mid-day/IANS - the fourth season is reported for MX Player, with filming underway; 22 August 2026.

The Times of India, carrying an IANS report on 22 August, said the production banner shared a photograph of an Aashram 4 clapperboard from the start of filming. Cinema Express reported the same day that creator-director Prakash Jha posted from the muhurat and welcomed viewers to a new chapter. Those reports establish that cameras are rolling; they do not establish a premiere date, episode count or completed storyline.

Where will Aashram season 4 stream?

Cinema Express describes Aashram as an Amazon MX Player series, while Mid-day's IANS report says the fourth season will stream on MX Player. That is the clearest current platform guidance in the reporting around the shoot announcement. Neither outlet gives a streaming date, so any specific month or day circulating elsewhere should be treated as speculation unless the platform or producers announce it directly.

For viewers, the practical point is simple: this remains an OTT continuation of Prakash Jha's series rather than a theatrical project. NDTV's 24 August report also centres the production update on Bobby Deol's return, not on a launch schedule. A trailer, teaser date or formal release calendar has not been part of the confirmed announcement cited by these outlets.

Who is returning in Aashram season 4?

NDTV reports that Bobby Deol is back as Baba Nirala, the role around which the series is built. Cinema Express additionally reports that Chandan Roy Sanyal, Aaditi Pohankar, Tridha Choudhury and Preeti Sood will reprise roles from earlier seasons. Because cast lists vary in breadth across current reports, those are the returning names this article can support from a named source without inflating an early production update into a complete ensemble announcement.

The most important on-record development is therefore Deol's return alongside Jha's production restart. Current coverage does not provide a verified synopsis for the fourth season. It is safer to say that the familiar Aashram world and central character are returning than to predict which unresolved plot threads the new episodes will prioritise.

When will Aashram season 4 release?

No release date is confirmed in the cited reporting. NDTV, Cinema Express, Mid-day and the IANS report carried by The Times of India all focus on the fact that filming has begun in August 2026. None of those reports gives a locked premiere day for Aashram season 4.

That distinction matters because production start dates often trigger unofficial release guesses. For now, the searchable answer is that Aashram season 4 is filming, Bobby Deol is returning as Baba Nirala and current reports point to Amazon MX Player/MX Player for streaming. A release date becomes publishable only when the platform or makers put one on the record.
