Mumbai witnessed a star-studded evening as several prominent names from the film industry gathered for the special screening of Pritam and Pedro. Celebrities including Bhumi Pednekar, Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan, Sudhir Mishra, Ashutosh Gowariker, Abhimanyu Dassani, Bhushan Kumar, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Barkha Singh, and many others attended the event, adding glamour to the premiere of Rajkumar Hirani's much-awaited OTT debut.
Pritam and Pedro marks acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's first-ever web series and has already generated significant buzz among audiences. The six-episode Hindi-language cybercrime comedy-drama premiered globally on JioHotstar on July 3, 2026. Created and produced by Hirani, the series blends humour, suspense, and technology-driven storytelling in a refreshing new format for the celebrated filmmaker.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Goa, the series follows the unlikely partnership between Inspector Pedro Gonsalves, played by Arshad Warsi, and Pritam Parker, portrayed by debutant Vir Hirani. Pedro is an old-school police officer who has little faith in technology, while Pritam is an engineering dropout with extraordinary hacking skills. Their paths cross after a seemingly minor complaint leads them into a dangerous cybercrime investigation involving the kidnapping of a Chief Minister's son and a mysterious mastermind operating behind the scenes.
The series is directed by Avinash Arun and written by Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi, and Suyash Trivedi. Inspired by cybercrime expert Amit Dubey's real-life books, the show combines authentic cybercrime elements with Hirani's signature blend of emotion and comedy. Alongside Arshad Warsi and Vir Hirani, the ensemble cast features Vikrant Massey as the primary antagonist, Mona Singh, Boman Irani, while Sanjay Dutt and former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag make entertaining special appearances.
The grand screening reflected the excitement surrounding the series, with several leading filmmakers, actors, and industry personalities coming together to celebrate Hirani's digital debut. As Pritam and Pedro begins streaming worldwide, expectations are high that the unique blend of cybercrime, comedy, and heartfelt storytelling will resonate with audiences, making it one of the standout Hindi web series releases of the year.
