Our vision with the series is to make it as true-to-life as possible and supported by Ramachandra Guha\u2019s work, we are confident and enthusiastic that we will bring audiences something to remember. With a common vision for this ambitious narrative, I am excited to kickstart a new journey, yet again with Sameer and the team at Applause.\u201d Hansal Mehta had earlier collaborated with Applause for Scam 1992, which emerged as a glowing success.
