Stories that have been told via movies and TV shows always have turned some forgotten points of our history into a tangible thing that can be accessed anytime anywhere. Hansal Mehta is also among those filmmakers who usually come up with a real-life based incident. This time he has done exactly the same with `Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story`.

Way before the trailer release of Abhishek Bachchan's 'The Big Bull', Sony Liv has already released the teaser of Hansal Mehta's web-series, 'Scam 1992 - The Harshad Mehta Story' on August 16th.

Harshad Mehta is getting two adaptations, one by Hansal Mehta's web-series and another one, Abhishek Bachchan starrer The Big Bull. It sounds so poetic to see Abhishek in Harshad`s role as the scammer is well-known as 'Amitabh Bachchan of the Stock Market'.

In December 2019, speaking about comparisons, Hansal Mehta told a leading daily that, `When they announced their film, we were already shooting. Our approach is different from theirs. I have been told that they've taken the outline of the story and created a work of fiction from it.` Hansel Mehta has said that his project sticks to Sucheta Dalal's book while Abhishek's film is a fictionalized version.

Set in the drop back of the 1980s and 1990s, the teaser begins with a hesitant man speaking to journalist Sucheta Dalal about a Rs 500 crores scam. When the journalist portrayed by Shreya Dhanwanthary asks if the man knows about the person behind the scam, he replies in a tense tone, `Harshad Mehta.` The teaser then showcases the stockbroker Harshad Mehta glimpse portrayed by actor Pratik Gandhi in the web series.
