The overnight success of Sony LIV's web show 'Scam 1992', directed and created by Hansal Mehta has been extremely encouraging for a lot of filmmakers and creators who wish to tell their stories without pretense or creative hinderances.Starring Pratik Gandhi and Shreya Dhanwanthary in the lead, the show has garnered tremendous applause for its unapologetic content from audiences and the industry, alike. One such name from the industry is none other than filmmaker and friend to Mehta, Anurag Kashyap. In a series of tweets, the 'Dev D' director expressed his happiness and fondness for the show.'Haven't gotten over the show Scam1992 . It is playing non stop in my head. It isn't just a show. It impacts you like Life does. This show is like a 'life lived'. There is so much I want to talk about and know how you all did it @mehtahansal'The filmmaker also expressed his desire to meet his friend and have a conversation about the show over food. 'Sometimes post the lockdown lets do it like we used to do it. Sit with the whole team over dinner and drinks and let the team tell the stories and I want to hear and ask questions scam1992 @mehtahansal"Having dropped on Sony LIV on October 9, 'Scam 1992' has grabbed more eyeballs and reviews than the much-hyped second season of 'Mirzapur' and the dismally marketed 'A Suitable Boy'.
