JioHotstar releases official trailer for ‘Pritam & Pedro’ ahead of streaming debut
JioHotstar has released the official trailer for ‘Pritam & Pedro’, following an earlier teaser that prompted questions from viewers. The series is positioned as a mix of humour, mystery and action, centred on an unlikely partnership.
Set in Goa, ‘Pritam & Pedro’ follows two contrasting characters: Pedro, an experienced, instinct-led police officer, and Pritam, a younger technology specialist. Their paths intersect under unusual circumstances, drawing them into a case described as increasingly complex and unpredictable. As the narrative progresses, the storyline explores shifting loyalties, emerging secrets and a series of escalating situations.
The show is created by filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani and directed by Avinash Arun. The cast includes Arshad Warsi, Vikrant Massey, Vir Hirani, Mona Singh and Boman Irani. The series is presented as combining humour with themes of human relationships and contemporary storytelling.
Alok Jain, Head of Hindi & English Entertainment Business (Streaming, TV & Studios), outlined the platform’s broader strategy, stating: “Great storytelling shouldn’t be a luxury for the few, it should belong to the many, and that’s exactly what we are building. We’re building the way the entire nation watches content; it becomes part of people’s lives, woven into the daily commute, the evening wind-down, time spent with family. The best characters stay with us long after the screen goes dark, and in ‘Pritam & Pedro’, audiences will find exactly that kind of company with two unforgettable misfits at the heart of a world that is funny, surprising and full of heart. Very few storytellers create that magic as consistently as Rajkumar Hirani, whose stories have resonated across generations, and we are proud to bring a creator of his stature to streaming. With storytelling at the core, made for the way audiences live and watch today, ‘Pritam & Pedro’ reflects exactly how we are building at JioHotstar.”

Rajkumar Hirani emphasised the central relationship in the story, saying: “What excited me most about this story was the relationship at its heart. ‘Pritam & Pedro’ come from completely different worlds and see life very differently, but they are forced into a journey together. I’ve always been drawn to stories about people, their contradictions, their vulnerabilities and the unexpected relationships they form along the way. This series allowed us to explore all of that while having a lot of fun with the world and characters. I’m excited for audiences to finally experience it on JioHotstar.”
Director Avinash Arun highlighted the tone and storytelling approach: “What attracted me to ‘Pritam & Pedro’ was its ability to constantly surprise you. It is a story filled with humour and chaos, but also one that is deeply rooted in human relationships. We wanted to create a world that feels immersive, entertaining and emotionally resonant at the same time. Bringing these characters to life with this cast was an incredibly rewarding experience.”
