The production of Dev Patel’s The Peasant, which went on floors in December 2025, is progressing swiftly. Following a month-long schedule in Madhya Pradesh, Patel — who serves as the actor, director, and co-writer on the revenge drama — is set to call action on the final schedule in Mumbai in the second week of February.

Set in the 14th century, The Peasant is said to be a revenge-fuelled action drama centred on an Indian shepherd, who kills the mercenary knights that had ransacked his village. A major set, in keeping with the period, is currently being constructed in Film City, Goregaon, for the upcoming leg. Apparently, the set-up has been designed to reflect a densely populated feudal settlement, complete with narrow alleys, market-style courtyards, and an adjoining fortress.
