Amazon MiniTV, Amazon’s free video streaming platform, and Rusk Media are all set to bring the highly-anticipated show ‘Pret Boys’.
This horror-comedy series, which premieres on June 21, will take viewers on a thrilling, hilarious adventure as a group of teenagers runs a ghost-busting startup only to find themselves trapped in an endless nightmare.
‘Pret Boys’ follows the misadventures of three Gen Z misfits, Prem (Ritik Ghanshani), Tatsat (Ahan Nirban), and Rajat (Shardul Pandit). The trio launches Pretboys.com, an unconventional startup dedicated to capturing and busting ghosts. Prem comes from a lineage of tantric practitioners, Tatsat is a paranormal research enthusiast, and Rajat is the business-savvy brain behind the operation.
When they meet Eisha (played by Aanchal Munjal), a vulnerable yet quick-witted girl with the ability to see ghosts, their lives take an unexpected turn. As the four work together to combat various supernatural spirits, they unintentionally come into contact with UN_KRA, a malevolent force of darkness. Eisha’s link to this evil realm puts her and those close to her in grave danger. Can the Pret Boys save her from this predicament? As they confront UN_KRA, a high-voltage showdown ensues, resulting in a shocking twist that leaves them as true ‘Prets’ with souls separated from their bodies.
‘Pret Boys’ promises to deliver an exhilarating viewing experience that seamlessly blends thrills and shrill laughter. The series showcases the talents of Shardul Pandit, Aanchal Munjal, Ritik Ghanshani and Ahan Nirban, who bring quintessential charm to their respective roles. With 10 gripping episodes, ‘Pret Boys’ will keep audiences hooked from start to finish. The show is helmed by talented director Nisheeth N Neelkanth.
Talking on the OTT debut and his character, Shardul Pandit said, “So this is my first venture in the world of OTT and I was very excited to play a comedy character because I have done very intense roles on television in the past, but this was a project which was a complete comedy. The director sat me down and explained me the character and expressed Rajat was his favorite character from the show and the lines they were writing were best suited for me and convinced me to do Rajat. Throughout the show, we kept improvising on our dialogues which made it a lot of fun.”
Aanchal Munjal said “It was a wonderful experience working with people that were equally involved in making the show with great enthusiasm and the fact everyone portrayed their role correctly & beautifully. Here’s hoping the audience loves watching it as much as we loved working on it.”
