One of the greatest filmmakers of Bollywood, Rajkumar Hirani, who holds good success ratio in terms of movie success in theaters is all set to start his journey in the world of streaming media with the upcoming JioHotstar series titled Pritam and Pedro.

This series revolves around a police officer Pedro (Arshad Warsi) whose punishment transfer to the cyber cell forces him to team up with a hacker Pritam (Vir Hirani) in order to save a minister’s son from an extremely risky cybercriminal (Vikrant Massey).’“Hackers ki fielding set hai, kyunki Pritam and Pedro are reporting for duty!’ wrote JioHotstar while sharing the trailer of the series.

Makers take
Rajkumar Hirani attended the trailer launch of Pritam and Pedro and said, “What excited me most about this story was the relationship at its heart. Pritam and Pedro come from completely different worlds and see life very differently, but they are forced into a journey together. I’ve always been drawn to stories about people, their contradictions, their vulnerabilities and the unexpected relationships they form along the way. This series allowed us to explore all of that while having a lot of fun with the world and characters. I’m excited for audiences to finally experience it on JioHotstar.”
