Pratik Gandhi became a household name after the show. While talking about the casting of Scam 1992, Hansal Mehta said, “I’m aware that Harshad Mehta’s story has had a long journey to the screen. Hota hai. Every story has its own destiny. I had to face a lot of resistance while casting Pratik Gandhi. Many big names were suggested. But I wanted Pratik. Then I was advised to do some padding in the casting. But I refused to cast known faces even in supporting roles. I now feel one of the reasons why Scam worked so well was the relatively unknown faces on screen. They all looked like the characters they were playing.”

What do you think Varun Dhawan would look like Harshad Mehta if there was a movie on his life? Do let us know via comments.
