Did you know Rajkumar Hirani's son Vir acted as 'ShortCircuit' in Munna Bhai, Arshad Warsi shares pic with him
Mumbai, May 26
Ace filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's son Vir is all set to make his OTT debut with 'Pritam and Pedro', which also stars Arshad Warsi.
Interestingly, the projects marks Arshad and Vir's on screen reunion. Vir played Arshad's son in 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.'
On Tuesday, Arshad shared a BTS video from the sets of 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.' and a picture with Vir from the series.
"Short circuit kaafi tall ho gaya hai @virhirani," he captioned the post.
Responding to him, Vir dropped a heartfelt comment.
"24 years later... full circle love you Arshad sir," he replied.
In a press note, Arshad Warsi reflected on his old memories with Vir.
"Vir has literally grown up in front of my eyes. We first worked together during Munna Bhai, where I played Circuit and he played my son, ShortCircuit. Even back then, he was this curious, adorable kid constantly asking Raju Sir and me questions, while also being mischievous enough to make the whole set laugh. And now, years later, standing next to him as a co-actor on Pritam Pedro feels truly surreal and emotional. It honestly feels like watching someone you've known as a child grow into such a sincere and talented actor. There's something very special and personal about that journey coming full circle," he shared.
Rajkumar Hirani's production series titled 'Pritam and Pedro' is set to release on Jio Hotstar on July 3.

It's incredible how Rajkumar Hirani has nurtured talent even within his family. Vir's journey from a child actor to an OTT debut shows how passion runs deep. Looking forward to 'Pritam and Pedro'! 🙌
Honestly, nepotism ka example hai ye. Film industry mein connections se hi kaam milta hai. Vir ko bina Hirani surname ke bhi chance milta kya? Bas dekhna hai talent hai ya promotion se aaya hai.
Kya baat hai! ShortCircuit ab tall ho gaya hai literally 😂 Arshad Warsi ka style of writing is hilarious, and the bond they share seems so genuine, not just professional. This will be a fun watch for sure!
I've always admired Hirani's films for their heart. This father-son collaboration on screen is just adding to that legacy. Hope Vir brings the same charm as his father's storytelling. Pranam to Rajkumar Hirani! 🙏
This is so sweet. I remember watching Munna Bhai as a kid in the US, and it was one of my first Bollywood exposures. Seeing a child actor return as an adult is always heartwarming. Best of luck to Vir!
