In an interview with Indiatimes, Hansal Mehta spoke about the success of Scam 1992.
He said, During Scam, we just wanted the project to finish, we were so tired and had spent sleepless nights completing it that we wanted to get it over with. The day it was streaming we had only put out 9 episodes and the 10th was in post production. We were delivering episodes every 2-3 hours. Final one came 36 hrs after the 9th one. Then I went on a break. Pratik Gandhi called me and said sir I think my life has changed. So when I went back from the holiday there was so much love and praise for the show. For me all of that means that I get more power to tell more stories. That's all I want. I want my success to buy me the power to tell more stories.¡±
