Working with TVF and Prime Video has been a fantastic experience; their belief in my vision and unwavering support were essential in bringing this show to life. It has been a pleasure collaborating with such a talented cast and crew, which has added incredible depth to the story.

Working on Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam has been incredible: Abishek Kumar
Abishek Kumar, who plays the lead role of Sidharth in the series, shared, “Working on Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam has been an incredible journey, and being directed by Naga sir has been a tremendous learning experience. I portray a character who is suddenly pulled out of his comfort zone and has to navigate a world completely different from what he’s used to. The series beautifully combines humour with the real-life challenges of a city boy living in a rural village in Tamil Nadu. I’m sure viewers will enjoy the unexpected twists and turns that Sidharth’s life takes. I’m eagerly looking forward to the series premiering on Prime Video in India and across 240 countries and territories on September 20th.
“I am always on the lookout for roles that offer something different and unique. In Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam, I play a character who is deeply connected to the people in his village, always thinking of others. I found him instantly relatable - a mix of humour and emotional depth that allowed me to explore a wide range of emotions. What makes this project even more special is getting to work alongside my wife and daughter in the series. I’m confident viewers will love this light-hearted show, filled with a rollercoaster of emotions, and I can’t wait for it to launch globally on Prime Video,” said Chetan Kadambi, who portrays Meenakshi Sundaram in the series.
Devadarshini, who portrays Meenakshi Devi, shared, “Being part of a comedy-drama like Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam has been a beautiful experience. Playing Meenakshi Devi allowed me to portray a character who, like many women, is dedicated to her family and daily responsibilities. However, the humour and surprising twists in the storyline make her stand out. She’s the voice of reason in the village, and I loved bringing her practical and grounded personality to the screen. I’m eagerly awaiting the series premiere on Prime Video on September 20th.”
