- The Peasant is described in press materials as an A24‑backed revenge‑action film set in the 14th century that follows a shepherd’s campaign of vengeance, a framing reported by multiple outlets.
- Reported cast members include Christian Friedel, Sebastian Bull, Saurabh Sachdeva and Anasuya Sengupta while Sharma’s specific role remains undisclosed by the production.
- Telegraph India reports The Peasant will be A24’s first film shot in India but that claim has not been independently corroborated in the coverage provided.
