Arshad Warsi is set to reunite with his Munna Bhai filmmaker, Rajkumar Hirani, for his anticipated OTT series. The cyber-crime thriller, tentatively titled Pritam Pedro, will also feature Vikrant Massey in the lead role. Hirani is stepping into the world of digital entertainment with this project. While he will serve as the showrunner-producer, his assistant director, Amir Satyaveer Singh, will helm the series.
According to a report in Mid-Day, the series, set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar, revolves around two quirky cyber cops, Pritam and Pedro, played by Vikrant Massey and Arshad Warsi, respectively. The source from the creative team revealed, “While Raju sir is known for his comedies, this series sees him explore a crime drama with his signature humor. He may even direct a couple of episodes himself.”
Arshad Warsi's Pedro is a seasoned cop with traditional methods of solving crimes. In contrast, Vikrant Massey's Pritam is a young tech whiz who uses advanced technology to crack cases. If all goes according to plan, Pritam Pedro will begin filming in Goa in November. The production team initially considered locations in North India but ultimately settled on the picturesque coastal state. Additional shooting will also take place in Mumbai and Pune.
