Talking about the World Television Premiere, Pankanj Tripathi said, "Since I have lived in a village, I could understand the roots of Gangaram. But what took time was understanding my character's specific behaviour. I played a very intriguing and layered character that helped me explore a different facet of myself as an actor. I always wanted to be a part of a film that shows the Man animal conflict, I was always concerned with the man and animal conflict, Sherdil gave me that opportunity. Moreover, Sherdil helped me to understand the emotions and vulnerabilities of my character. Working with talented actors like Neeraj Kabi and Sayani Gupta was a great creative experience. We intended to make a good film and thoroughly enjoyed working together and discussing the craft. Sherdil is a film that deserves to be seen by a larger, especially younger audience and we’re thrilled that &pictures is giving this film the platform”
