In his latest interview, Jitendra Kumar revealed that the scene was inspired by a real-life incident.

Jitendra Kumar, who captivated hearts with the climax scene of Panchayat season 3 in a chat with Pinkvilla said, “Videos of the event are available, and we based the scene on them. We are glad that it was accomplished as planned, and the audience appreciated it.”

Further, the actor revealed how the scene was shot and finally edited to give it a realistic effect. Jitendra added that the scene was shot in one night and the team rehearsed it multiple times beforehand.
