Vikrant Massey on His Role in 'Pritam and Pedro'
At the trailer launch, Massey shared, 'Like everyone says, even if we get one passing shot or scene in Hirani-verse, it's more than enough. I am very excited for the show. Also, the good man turn bad or anti-hero... I was sick of playing village boy or the next door boy. Finally, sir (Hirani) has given me a chance. In Hirani-verse, antagonists are not conventional. It's the same with Martin.'
The series also stars Arshad Warsi, Vir Hirani, and Mona Singh. 'Pritam and Pedro' revolves around mismatched men caught in a cyber crime mystery filled with humor and twists.
Cyber Crime Relevance
Massey, 39, noted the series addresses a relevant topic. He shared personal experiences of being a cyber crime victim, including hacked emails and unauthorized bank deductions. 'It's such a relevant topic; I think everyone has become a victim of it. It's entertaining, and you will also see the human side of Martin,' he added.
The series will stream on a popular digital platform starting July 3.
