Vijal Patel created a super-funny and endearing comedy based on his own immigrant experience in Amazon Prime Video’s “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh.” It follows “the Pradeep family and the events of their life in America after moving from India. As told through hilarious (and often conflicting) flashbacks from an interrogation room, the Pradeeps quickly find themselves embroiled—romantically, personally, and professionally—with a polar-opposite neighborhood family, leading to a predicament with many surprising twists.”
I spent some time with Patel to talk about his interest in creating the series, and the many ups and downs of being an immigrant.
All eight episodes of “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh” are now streaming on Prime Video.
Naveen Andrews stars as the patriarch of the Pradeeps and his counterpart is neighbor Jimbo Mills played by Ethan Suplee. I spent some time with the actors to talk about their characters’ dynamics.
Sindhu Vee stars as the matriarch of the family in “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh” while Sahana Srinivasan portrays the independent daughter Bhanu. I spent some time with the actors as they take us behind-the-scenes of the Prime Video comedy series.
Arjun Siram stars as Kamal and Ashwin Sakthivel is his baby brother Vinod in “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh.” I sat down with both actors to talk about their interest in working in the Prime Video series, their characters, and what they hope for viewers to get after watching the show.
