Arshad Warsi is working with director Rajkumar Hirani once again on an exciting new OTT project.
This time, the duo will collaborate on a cyber-crime thriller series titled “Pritam Pedro.“ The series will also star Vikrant Massey and is expected to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
This is Rajkumar Hirani’s first project in the digital media. Known for his iconic films like Munna Bhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Hirani is now exploring web series.

Together, they will navigate the challenges of solving cyber crimes while balancing their opposing viewpoints.

The series is set to begin filming in November 2024, in locations including Goa, Mumbai, and Pune.
The production team has already inspected these areas to ensure the appropriate backdrop for the story.
