The original series, which gained immense popularity for its simple yet heartwarming story, will now reach Tamil audiences with a fresh new cast. The Tamil version will feature actor and stand-up comedian Abhishek Kumar in the lead role, stepping into the shoes of Jitendra Kumar, who played the beloved “Secretary Ji” in the Hindi version.
Abhishek Kumar to Play Secretary
Abhishek Kumar, well-known for his stand-up comedy and funny online content, has taken up the challenge of portraying the lead character in Thalaivettiyaan Palayam. Audiences may recognize him as the winner of Tamil Comicstan. He brings his unique sense of humor and charm to the role, and fans are excited to see his version of the Secretary navigating village life.
Joining Abhishek in this new venture are actors Chethan Kadambi and Devadarshini, who will play important roles in the series. The story is set in a Tamil village, which makes this version more relatable to the Tamil-speaking audience. The series also features Niyathi, Anand Sami, and Paul Raj in supporting roles.
What to Expect from ‘Thalaivettiyaan Palayam’
Directed by Naga and written by Balakumaran Murugesan, Thalaivettiyaan Palayam is created by The Viral Fever, the same production company that brought Panchayat to life. The director, Naga, is known for hit Tamil serials like Marma Desam and Ramani vs Ramani, and the audience has high hopes for his direction of this much-loved story. The Tamil version is not just a dubbed version of the Hindi original but a complete remake with local flavor and characters.
Manish Meghani, the Content Licensing Director of Prime Video India, mentioned that Tamil audiences have shown a growing demand for local language content, and this has motivated them to expand with more regional stories.

The Simplicity of Panchayat in Tamil

The Tamil remake will likely keep this simplicity while adding nuances that reflect the culture and lifestyle of a Tamil village. Fans of the original show are eager to see how the charm of Panchayat translates into the Tamil context.
