Is Arshad Warsi reuniting with Rajkumar Hirani for Pritam Pedro co-starring Vikrant Massey? Here’s what we know

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in both entertainment and technology, I must say that the upcoming series “Pritam Pedro” is a tantalizing fusion of two worlds I hold dear. Having closely followed Rajkumar Hirani‘s illustrious career, I am thrilled to witness his foray into the digital realm, especially with a cyber-crime thriller. The pairing of Arshad Warsi and Vikrant Massey promises an engaging dynamic, much like the one seen in Munna Bhai MBBS.


It’s been mentioned that Rajkumar Hirani is set to make his first foray into digital media with a series starring Vikrant Massey. Excitement among fans for this partnership has been building, and recent rumors indicate that Arshad Warsi will be joining forces with the director of Munna Bhai MBBS once again.

Based on a recent article in Mid-Day, it’s been announced that Rajkumar Hirani will take on the roles of showrunner and producer for an upcoming cyber-crime thriller. Amir Satyaveer Singh, assistant director to Rajkumar Hirani on Dunki, will be directing this series. Additionally, the series has been named Pritam Pedro, after the characters portrayed by Arshad Warsi and Vikrant Massey. The show is set to premiere on Disney + Hotstar.

As a devoted admirer, I’m excited to share that, based on information from a trusted insider close to the creative team, we can expect an intriguing series with a unique twist. This time, instead of his usual comedies carrying powerful messages like the Munna Bhai franchise, PK (2014), and Dunki (2023), he’s venturing into the realm of crime drama, yet promises to maintain the humor that’s synonymous with his work. Interestingly, it’s been hinted that the talented Rajkumar Hirani might even direct a few episodes himself!

Delving deeper into the narrative of Pritam Pedro’s character arc, it was revealed that Arshad Warsi portrays a seasoned police officer named Pedro, who tackles crimes in a traditional manner. On the other hand, Pritam, played by Vikrant Massey, is a youthful cop with a knack for technology, employing modern tools to crack cases. The series primarily focuses on these two distinct characters as they find themselves paired up, collaborating to solve crimes.

In November, Pritam Pedro plans to begin filming in Goa. The production crew previously scouted locations in North India before settling on Goa as their primary shooting location. Some scenes will also be filmed in Mumbai and Pune.

Regarding his professional endeavors, Arshad Warsi is set to appear in “Jolly LLB 3” alongside Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi, which is scheduled for release on April 10, 2025, under the direction of Subhash Kapoor.

Currently, Vikrant Massey is appearing in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba with Taapsee Pannu and Sunny Kaushal. Following this, he will feature in Netflix’s upcoming crime thriller Sector 36 alongside Deepak Dobriyal. This series, produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, is set to premiere on September 13th, which also marks the directorial debut of Aditya Nimbalkar, a writer for Meghna Gulzar’s critically-acclaimed film Talvar.
