On the professional front

Prateik was lauded for his performance in the second season of Four More Shots Please. Four More Shots Please released on Amazon Prime on April 17 and received a thunderous response from fans for highlighting controversial subjects like bisexuality, single-motherhood and women empowerment. Starring Maanvi Gagroo, Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari and Bani J in the leading roles, the series follows the lives of four female friends from different walks of life, as they deal with romance, work-life conflicts, ambitions and anxieties in modern-day India.

Prateik was also seen in the much-acclaimed film, Chhichhore, which stars Shraddha Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput in the leading roles. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film narrates the tale of a middle-aged man, who takes a trip down memory lane and reminisces his college days along with his friends, who were labelled as losers, after a tragic incident occurs. The film is bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala.
