Raghubir Yadav on Panchayat’s impact: “Wherever I go, people call me Pradhan ji”
Raghubir Yadav remarked, “I’m filming in Varanasi right now, and people are wondering what Pradhan ji is doing among us.”
Actor Raghubir Yadav, who has nearly forty years of film, stage, and small-screen experience under his belt, says Panchayat has taken his success to a new level and that people now know him as “Pradhan ji” everywhere he goes. As if everything I’ve done in the past has been forgotten, said Raghubir Yadav, one of the most well-known figures in the parallel cinema and theater movement with a career spanning decades and mediums, to PTI. My name is Pradhan ji.
He is also concerned about the positive reception that Panchayat, which is currently in its third season and centers on the daily hardships of residents of an Uttar Pradesh village, received. He has been reintroduced to the public by the OTT show as the endearing, if not bewildering, Pradhan ji who constantly seeks to improve the lives of those in his village.
