Following the likes of Suzhal, Vadandhi, Modern Love: Chennai, Sweet Kaaram Coffee, and Inspector Rishi, Prime Video is set to release the quirkily titled, Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam. Said to be the Tamil version of the hit Prime Video series, Panchayat, Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam will begin streaming from September 20.
Backed by The Viral Fever, Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam features standup comic and actor Abishek Kumar in the lead alongside Chethan and Devadarshini. Considering this is indeed the remake of Panchayat, it would be interesting to see how Abishek fits into the shoes of Jitendra Kumar. Abishek, who has starred in a few films, was the winner of the Tamil version of Comicstaan. Known for his quirky reels, and viral standup videos, this would be his litmus test as an actor since it is on his shoulders that the entire series rides on.
Of course, he has the support of powerhouse talents like Chethan and Devadarshini. It would be interesting to see how this real-life couple turn up their innate and celebrated comic talents to recreate the wonderful chemistry of Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta from the original.
It is interesting to note that Panchayat hasn’t been dubbed in Tamil and Telugu, and it might be because of this project being in the works. Directed by the OG small screen maverick, Naga, known for his serials like Marma Desam, Vidaadhu Karuppu, and Ramany vs Ramany, Thalavettiyaan Paalayam has been written by Balakumaran.
