T-Series and Reliance Entertainment have joined hands with Match Cut Productions to make a dark humour-laced satire titled 'Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga'. The film, slated to be released on June 24, is inspired by true events. Written and directed by the National Award-winning director Srijit Mukherji, the film is about the adverse effects of urbanisation, man-animal conflict and poverty, leading to a bizarre practice in a village that resides on the edge of a forest. The film's cast includes Pankaj Tripathi, Neeraj Kabi, and Sayani Gupta.

A winner of multiple National Awards, Mukherji has directed critically acclaimed Bengali films such as 'Autograph' (2010), 'Jaatishwar' (2014), 'Chotushkone' (2015), 'Rajkahini' (2015) and 'Ek Je Chhilo Raja' (2019). 'Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga' will be his second Hindi film after the 2017 period drama, 'Begum Jaan'.
