Revealing more about the film, a report by Pinkvilla stated, “It’s a high-on drama and emotion film, set against the backdrop of a folklore deep-rooted in Hindu Mythology. The makers have the vision to create a unique cinematic experience like Kantara with the feature film. While Sid is expected to hear the final narration in November, the makers are aiming to take the film on floors in 2nd half of 2025. He will sign the dotted lines once the final narration takes place."
For the unversed, Panchayat is a popular comedy-drama web series, which stars Jitendra Kumar and Neena Gupta, among others, and is available on Amazon Prime Video. The series too is set against a rural background and revolves around the life of Abhishek who starts working in a village named Phulera.
