Sarpanch Sahab is a politically charged, emotionally rich web series created by Shahid Khan, which has held the number one spot on WAVES OTT for 75 consecutive days since its release on April 30, 2025.

A Story Rooted in Rural Reality

Set in the fictional village of Rampura, Sarpanch Sahab is a mirror to the socio-political undercurrents of Indian villages. It tells the story of Mahendra Singh, a veteran Sarpanch who has clung to power for decades, and Sanju, a young dreamer who dares to challenge the status quo.

Every Indian village can relate to Rampura: where hope and betrayal walk hand in hand, and the dreams of change often collide with brutal reality. The series captures that bittersweet tension in every frame, making the audience feel as if they're witnessing their own village's story.
