Scam 1992 was passed on by ‘major OTT platforms’ before SonyLIV

Scam 1992, which has been a smash hit in 2020, was passed on by some major OTT platforms before finally landing on SonyLIV.

Shreya Dhanwanthary, who plays Sucheta Dalal in the web series, appeared to confirm this on an episode of ‘It’s All Filmy’ with Janice Sequeira, without taking specific names.

Sequeira mentioned that the web series struggled to find a platform even after concluding shoot because Dhanwanthary and Pratik Gandhi, who plays Harshad Mehta in the series, weren’t exactly ‘household names’.

To this, the actress replied: “Let’s just say some heads have rolled.”

Statement begins at 5:36

Scam 1992 released in October this year, and went on to win acclaim from audiences as well as critics.

It even topped IMDb’s list of ‘Top 10 Indian web series of 2020’, with a staggering 9.5 rating, equalling Breaking Bad and overtaking Game of Thrones and Chernobyl.
