Raghuvir Yadav Feels Authenticity, Everyday Stories Make ‘Panchayat’ A Hit

MUMBAI (IANS)– Actor Raghuvir Yadav, who plays Brij Bhushan Dubey in “Panchayat,” has identified the real reason behind the show’s widespread appeal. He believes it showcases India in its truest form, presenting everyday stories from small towns with immense heart.

“It’s incredible how ‘Panchayat’ has resonated with everyone — children, young adults, and elders — across villages, cities, and even overseas,” Raghuvir said. “When I was in Australia for a play, people of all ages approached me to talk about the show.”

He initially found it hard to pinpoint its special quality. “But then I realised — this is India, in its truest form,” he explained. “It’s the simplicity, sincerity, and the everyday stories of small towns, told with so much heart, that make ‘Panchayat’ so powerful.”

Raghuvir added, “There are no villains, no over-the-top drama. Just real people, living their lives in their own honest ways. And the love people have for it… when the release date shifted from July 2 to the 24th, everyone was restless. They kept saying, ‘Thank God the wait was cut short; even a few days felt too long!’”

The actor recalled his initial reaction to the script: “There’s no room for acting here. We’ll have to live with these characters.” He elaborated, “These aren’t just roles; they’re real lives. To portray them truthfully, we had to immerse ourselves completely. The writing was so honest — the emotions between the lines felt deeper than what was on the page.”

Having grown up in a village and lived among people similar to the Sarpanch and Panchayat members, Raghuvir found the material deeply personal. “Through theatre, I’ve spent years travelling across small towns in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, UP, and Rajasthan, observing and meeting people like this. That instinct to observe has always shaped me as an actor. So when ‘Panchayat’ came along, it felt personal. We all approached it with sincerity, and the love it’s receiving today is a reflection of that,” he concluded.

The show stars Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha.

The show is streaming on Prime Video.
