The trailer for the cyber-crime comedy series "Pritam and Pedro" was released on Monday, June 15, 2026 [1].
The series marks a new venture into the digital crime genre for creator Rajkumar Hirani, pairing a traditional law enforcement figure with a modern hacker to attract a broad streaming audience.
Arshad Warsi portrays a tough cyber-cell police officer who must team up with a tech-savvy hacker played by Vir Hirani [1, 2]. The plot centers on a dangerous cyber chase, blending elements of mystery and comedy as the duo navigates the complexities of digital crime [2].
Rajkumar Hirani created and produced the series, while Avinash Arun served as the director [1, 2]. The production utilized Goa as a primary filming location, where the characters bring a sense of chaos to the coastal setting [4].
Earlier promotional efforts included a first-look teaser that lasted 30 seconds [4]. While some reports indicated the teaser dropped on a Wednesday, other records confirm the full trailer unveiling occurred on June 15, 2026 [1, 4].
The series is scheduled to stream on JioCinema/JioHotstar [3]. The promotional rollout aims to generate audience interest by highlighting the quirky chemistry between the lead characters and the high-stakes nature of their investigation [3, 5].
“Arshad Warsi's tough cop teams up with a techie”
The project reflects a growing trend in Indian OTT content toward specialized 'cyber-crime' procedurals that blend humor with technical themes. By leveraging the established brand of Rajkumar Hirani and the comedic timing of Arshad Warsi, the series attempts to make the often-dry subject of cyber-security accessible to a mass entertainment audience.
