During the lockdown, OTT platforms got a major boost and in turn gave a major boost to web series in India. 'Scam 1992' was one of the biggest hits during this period. The 10-episode series directed by Hansal Mehta had a relatively new face in the lead. Pratik Gandhi shot to fame with his portrayal of the late stock broker Harshad Mehta who was also known as the Big Bull. 


Recently, actor Rajesh Jais who played the role of SBI GM Khemani revealed an interesting trivia from the shoot of the series.

The actor feels that there are better written character roles today than before.
