Set to premiere on JioHotstar on July 3, the series marks a collaboration with celebrated filmmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rajkumar-hirani\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Rajkumar Hirani<\/a> and promises a blend of mystery, humour and emotional depth. While audiences are eager to discover what lies at the heart of the story, actor <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/vikrant-massey\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Vikrant Massey<\/a> has offered an interesting insight into what makes Hirani&#8217;s storytelling stand out from the crowd.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><keyword id=\"20047347\" type=\"General\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"vikrant\" source=\"keywords\">Vikrant<\/keyword> Massey reflects on Rajkumar Hirani\u2019s unique narrative style<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In an conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Vikrant spoke about his experience of working on \u2018Pritam and Pedro\u2019 and shared what he believes is one of the defining characteristics of Rajkumar Hirani&#8217;s films.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>\u201cIn Rajkumar Hirani\u2019s films, the villain is never a person; it is always the situation. You can never truly hate the villain in his films,\u201d Vikrant said. According to the actor, Hirani&#8217;s stories rarely rely on traditional antagonists. <!-- -->Instead, the conflict often emerges from circumstances, societal pressures or difficult situations that force people into making choices they might not otherwise make.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Vikrant further explained that one of the filmmaker&#8217;s greatest strengths is his ability to find empathy in every character, regardless of their actions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Rather than portraying individuals as entirely good or bad, Hirani&#8217;s narratives explore the reasons behind their behaviour. The actor pointed out that people are often shaped by challenges, emotional struggles and moments of vulnerability, making them far more complex than conventional heroes and villains. This approach allows audiences to connect with characters on a deeper level, even when they disagree with their decisions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Why Hirani\u2019s films continue to resonate<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Rajkumar Hirani has earned a reputation for creating stories that combine entertainment with emotional depth. <!-- -->Whether it is the social commentary of \u2018Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.\u2019, the emotional journey of \u20183 Idiots\u2019, the satirical humour of \u2018PK\u2019 or the biographical drama \u2018Sanju\u2019, his films have consistently focused on the human experience.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Vikrant believes this emphasis on understanding people rather than judging them is what makes the filmmaker&#8217;s work so relatable. By encouraging viewers to look beyond labels and examine the circumstances behind every action, Hirani creates stories that stay with audiences long after the credits roll.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What to expect from \u2018Pritam and Pedro\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p> <!-- --> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The upcoming series follows an unlikely duo as they become entangled in a string of cybercrime cases. Combining suspense with comedy, \u2018Pritam And Pedro\u2019 aims to deliver an entertaining mystery while retaining the emotional warmth associated with Rajkumar Hirani&#8217;s storytelling sensibilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>As anticipation for the show continues to grow, Vikrant&#8217;s observations offer a glimpse into the philosophy behind the project. If his comments are anything to go by, viewers can expect a narrative that balances humour and intrigue while reminding audiences that every story has more than one side.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>With \u2018Pritam And Pedro\u2019 arriving on July 3, fans can look forward to a cybercrime drama where the biggest challenge may not be identifying the villain, but understanding why they became one in the first place.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/vikrant-massey-shares-a-unique-insight-into-rajkumar-hiranis-films-ahead-of-the-release-of-pritam-and-pedro-you-can-never-truly-hate-the-villain-in-his-films\/articleshow\/131936541.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vikrant Massey shares a unique insight into Rajkumar Hirani\u2019s films ahead of the release of \u2018Pritam and Pedro\u2019: &#8216;You can never truly hate the villain in his films&#8217; With the release of \u2018Pritam And Pedro\u2019 just around the corner, excitement is steadily building around the upcoming cybercrime comedy-drama.
