The fifth season premiered on August 9, 2020, and stars Mohit Sehgal with Hina Khan, Surbhi Chandna, Mohit Malhotra, and Dheeraj Dhoopar were in appearance.

It was recently confirmed that Hina Khan will be the 'sarvashresth naagin' (the mighty serpent) in the episodes. Mohit Malhotra will be paired opposite Hina Khan and they will appear in the initial episodes and it will be a cameo. Mohit had confirmed the news with Mumbai Mirror. When asked whether he would be paired opposite Hina, he said, "Yes, that's true. She and I are good friends, so it feels great to get back with Hina." Even Dheeraj Dhoopar has confirmed that he will be a part of the show.

The reports say that producer Ekta Kapoor considers Sharad extremely lucky who was a part of her successful show Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki. The source tells TOI, "The Banoo Main Teri Dulhann actor is extremely fit and his bearded look seems perfect for the part." The production house thought of many other big names for the role before Sharad Malhotra.

"Khulenge barso puraane Raaz aur saamne aayega sabse balshaali Naagin ka chehera!," (the biggest secret will be disclosed revealing the identity of the most strongest serpent) Colors wrote while sharing the promo.
