Aamir Khan Showers Praise on Rajkumar Hirani's Son Vir for His Directorial Debut

Rajkumar Hirani's own OTT debut has arrived in an unexpected form: not as director, but as producer and proud father. Pritam and Pedro, the directorial debut of his son Vir Hirani, has begun streaming on JioHotstar, and Aamir Khan was among the first to publicly weigh in.

Khan praised both the debutant director and the full team behind the series, a notable gesture given his own long collaborative history with the elder Hirani across some of Hindi cinema's most significant commercial successes. Passing that association on to the next generation, even in a producing capacity, carries its own quiet weight.

Vir Hirani's debut arrives without the immediate pressure of a theatrical opening weekend, the show finding its audience gradually on streaming rather than living or dying by a single Friday. Whether that's an advantage or simply a different kind of pressure remains to be seen.
