The series marks a striking shift toward grounded, socially relevant storytelling, tapping into themes of legacy, rebellion, and reform.

“With stakes that are both political and deeply personal, Sarpanch Sahab is as much about courage as it is about conscience”, he added.

For producers Sonu and Sonali Sood, Sarpanch Sahab is more than just a story. “We’ve always believed in stories that inspire and provoke thought”, says Sonali Sood.

Sonu Sood said, “This one spoke to us because it’s about standing up, no matter how small you feel. It’s about fighting for what’s right, even when it’s not easy. We can’t wait for audiences to watch it on the platform and experience it”.

‘Sarpanch Sahab’ is set to stream on WAVES OTT on April 30, 2025.

Interesting concept but I hope they don't make it too preachy. Sometimes these "socially relevant" shows end up being lecture sessions rather than entertainment. Fingers crossed for good storytelling!

The rural political drama space is so underexplored in OTT. Hope they do justice to the complexities instead of going for black-and-white portrayals. Shahid Khan's previous work was decent, so expectations are high!
