The biggest stories can sometimes start with the most surprising hints. Two unlikely men are standing next to an abandoned ATM on a beach, and there’s a mystery that immediately piques people’s interest. Rajkumar Hirani‘s highly anticipated streaming debut, Pritam and Pedro, introduces his trademark human storytelling, warmth, and emotion to the long-format genre for the first time. Additionally, the partnership promises viewers a novel and immersive experience by marking an exciting convergence of large-scale streaming entertainment and cinematic storytelling.

The renowned filmmaker Avinash Arun’s Pritam and Pedro keeps the bigger plot entirely hidden while providing just enough to entice viewers into its eccentric, deeply ingrained, and unpredictable world.

Rajkumar Hirani discussed the project and said, “I’ve always loved stories where very different people are forced to come together and navigate life in unexpected ways. In that regard, Pritam and Pedro are very funny, kind, and crazy. We were able to spend more time with the characters and thoroughly examine their journey thanks to the long-format space. I’m glad to have partnered with JioHotstar for this exciting experience”.

“At JioHotstar, we believe some of the most compelling stories are the ones that feel deeply rooted yet universally entertaining. Few storytellers have shaped that space as uniquely and consistently as Rajkumar Hirani. Stories full of warmth, humor, emotion, and human connection have always held a special place in audiences’ hearts. As he makes his streaming debut, we are thrilled to collaborate with him on Pritam and Pedro, bringing his beloved storytelling voice to long-form entertainment in a novel and engaging way for viewers nationwide,” said Alok Jain, Head of Hindi & English Entertainment Business (Streaming, TV & Studios).

Pritam and Pedro will be available exclusively on JioHotstar on July 3rd, so get ready to venture into the unknown.
