Vicky Kaushal recently shared his thoughts on the career growth of Vir Hirani, the son of filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, who has made his acting debut in the new OTT series Pritam & Pedro.
Vicky, who worked with Rajkumar Hirani on the 2018 hit Sanju, reminisced about seeing a young Vir on set while he was still learning the ropes of the industry. Talking about those early days, he shared how he witnessed Vir’s dedication long before he stepped in front of the camera as a lead actor.
Vicky said, “I have known Vir since the time of Sanju, and I’ve seen him clap in front of me during the shoots. Since the day I’ve known him, he has always been incredibly sincere, and over the years, he’s worked hard and learned so much. It’s been wonderful to watch his journey, and I wish him all the very best.”
Pritam & Pedro, which marks Rajkumar Hirani’s foray into the OTT space as a creator and producer, has been receiving praise from audiences. Apart from his praise for Vir, Vicky expressed his excitement for the entire project, highlighting the collaborative effort behind the series.
He added, “The entire team is incredible, Raju sir, Avinash Arun, Arin, Vikrant Massey, and Arshad Warsi have all come together to create something truly special, and I’m excited for everyone to experience their work.”
The series, which also features actors like Arshad Warsi and Mona Singh, has been trending across multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi and Kannada. After the positive reception, Rajkumar Hirani also shared his gratitude for the audience’s response to the show, saying, “The audience has voted with their time. The binge-watching, the repeat viewing and the overwhelming response to Pritam & Pedro have been truly humbling. It’s heartening to see these characters become a part of conversations across the country. We were often told that only dark, gritty stories work on OTT, but I think this acceptance is a reminder that audiences don’t binge genres, they binge stories that make them laugh, touch their hearts and stay with them long after the credits roll.”
