Scam 1992 Trailer: Hansal Mehta’s series will show the rise and fall of The Big Bull Harshad Mehta

In Scam 1992, Pratik Gandhi plays Harshad Mehta, the man who wants to create history and is not afraid of risks. He recognises fault lines in the functioning of the Bombay Stock Exchange and manipulates these to become its undisputed king. But then appears Sucheta Dalal, played by Shreya Dhanwantry, the journalist who exposes Mehta.

“Bigg Bull, Man of Integrity, Bachchan of BSE”. These are some of the words used to describe Harshad Mehta, the subject of Hansal Mehta’s upcoming financial thriller Scam 1992 – The Harshad Mehta Story, whose trailer released today. Harshad orchestrated the Rs 5,000-crore 1992 securities scandal, which led to the exposure of many loopholes in the functioning of the stock market and banks.

Going by the trailer, Gandhi seems to have gotten into the skin of his character and how. Dhanwanthary who has earlier impressed with her performance in The Family Man and A Viral Wedding looks the part of a journalist. Apart from them, the web series, which promises to be an intriguing affair, also boasts of a stellar cast including Sharib Hashmi, Satish Kaushik, Anant Mahadevan, Rajat Kapoor, Nikhil Dwivedi, K K Raina and Lalit Parimoo.

Directed by Hansal Mehta, Scam 1992 is based on the book The Scam by Debashish Basu and Sucheta Dalal. 

Scam 1992 – The Harshad Mehta Story will start streaming on SonyLIV from October 9.
