One of Bollywood’s most loved creative partnerships is coming together once again. Writer, lyricist, actor, and composer Swanand Kirkire has reunited with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani for the upcoming cybercrime drama series Pritam and Pedro. Over the years, the duo has worked on several memorable films including Lage Raho Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, PK, and Dunki. Their latest collaboration is already attracting attention, especially because of a special retro style song that promises to bring a touch of nostalgia to the modern day story.
For Pritam and Pedro, Swanand Kirkire has written a song inspired by the charm of old Hindi cinema. The track has been composed by renowned music director Shantanu Moitra and sung by playback superstar Shreya Ghoshal. The song has been filmed on actress Mona Singh, who plays an important role in the series. The makers believe the song will add emotional depth and warmth to the fast paced cybercrime thriller.
Created and produced by Rajkumar Hirani, Pritam and Pedro is a cybercrime chase drama that combines suspense, emotions, and human relationships. The story and screenplay have been written by Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi, and Suyash Trivedi. The series is directed by Avinash Arun, who is known for acclaimed projects like Three of Us, Killa, and Paatal Lok. The show features a strong cast that includes Arshad Warsi, Vikrant Massey, Boman Irani, and Mona Singh. It will also introduce Vir Hirani, Rajkumar Hirani’s son, in his acting debut.
Talking about his latest collaboration with Hirani, Swanand Kirkire shared that working with the filmmaker always feels special. He said that every project with Rajkumar Hirani is built on honesty, emotions, and meaningful storytelling. According to him, Pritam and Pedro stood out because it explores a world filled with technology, cybercrime, and modern challenges, while still making room for a song that captures timeless emotions.
Swanand explained that while writing the song, he wanted to bring back the simplicity and innocence often seen in classic Hindi film music. His goal was to create lyrics that reminded listeners of old Bollywood songs without simply copying them. He wanted the song to feel familiar, emotional, and fresh at the same time.
He also praised composer Shantanu Moitra for creating music that feels timeless and heartfelt. Speaking about Shreya Ghoshal, Swanand said her voice brought life to the song and added a level of grace and emotion that made it truly special.
With an exciting story, a talented cast, and a nostalgic musical touch, Pritam and Pedro is shaping up to be one of the most awaited web series in the coming months.
