Hansal Mehta considers comparison between SCAM 1992 and The Big Bull
The director of the web series, Mr. Hansal Mehta, shared his thoughts on the comparison. First the director said that the web series is based on a book written by Sucheta Dalal and Debashish Basu. “When they announced their film, they are already shooting. Our approach is different from his point of view. It was told that they have prepared the outline of the story and created narrative literature from it.” Director Hansal Mehta said.
It was asked if he had the permission of Harshad’s family, Hansal said, “No, we went by the book. But I know that the family will thank me for making this show. I am decoding the financial system for the audience. “
Hansal Mehta wrote “Please do not do comparative comparisons. There can be many stories on the same story. Every storyteller will have his own way and should be seen independent of the other. This film has many like my show. Talents are included. They did their best and they deserve your love. “
