'Prime Video' unveiled the intriguing trailer of its upcoming 'Original' series 'The Pyramid Scheme', a compelling drama that explores the dangerous allure of quick money, ambition and fraudulent pyramid schemes.
The series features an ensemble cast with Paramvir Singh Cheema, Ranvir Shorey, Shekhar Suman, Aanjjan Srivastav, Alfia Jafry and Ashish Raghava in the lead roles and supported by Akhilendra Mishra, Smita Bansal, Vijay Kumar, Indresh Malik, Ravi Bhel, Sushant Singh, Sonal Jha and Sadanand Patil in pivotal roles.
The trailer opens into a world of flashy wealth and big promises of changing your destiny in merely six months. We are introduced to Goldy (Paramvir Singh Cheema) and Manoj Srivastava (Ranvir Shorey), two men with different aspirations, pulled into the glittering maze of 'sapno ka business model' that is based on pyramid marketing, a world that promises them quick money, respect and success by just convincing others to join the system. Easy enough to do, right? But the higher Goldy and Manoj climb this pyramid of success, the shakier the ground beneath them gets. Will the company turn their dreams into reality or bury them under jumbo-sized problems?
Paramvir shared, "Goldy is a character completely different from anything I've played till now. He hails from Haridwar, the Gateway of Gods and that essence reflects deeply in who he is. Working with 'TVF' made the character feel even more real and authentic. After the incredible experience of working with 'Prime Video' and 'TVF' on 'Sapne vs Everyone', collaborating with them again on a world and character so different felt truly exciting."
Talking about the series and his character, Ranvir Shorey shared, "When I read the script and my character, I was immediately drawn to it. While the story is based on pyramid schemes, it is interesting the way it uses that subject to show how ordinary people get pulled into extraordinary situations in their search for purpose, respect and a better life. My character, Manoj, is a simple, middle-class man, but he seeks something more than money or fame, something that, personally, for him, is more valuable than a growing bank balance."
