His recent work includes playing the part of Harshad Mehta in the web series "Scam 1992".
With gaining immense popularity because of the series "Scam 1992", Pratik Gandhi has now become a very well-known name in the television and film industry.
In an interview, he shared his experience about preparing for the role of Harshad Mehta, he said, "I had known about the Scam of 1992 since I was at that time in school, but I did not know much about the technicalities about it back then, but I knew what had happened."
Pratik also shared that when he was approached for Harshad Mehta role in Scam 1992, he did a lot of research over the internet and found a lot of reference material and two interview videos of Harshad Mehta that helped him a lot in preparing himself for the role, he also continued to share that the script of the show is so long that it was like a detailed document. In the interview, he also added that "Physically also I had to transform myself so that I could look like the real Harshad Mehta and when I met the director Harshad Mehta I was very lean so he asked me to put on weight so that I could have a double chin and a big belly like the real Harshad Mehta. At first, I was very scared, to begin with as I had never been fat and overweight, so what I did I started eating everything and anything that came my way and since I am a vegetarian I was eating a rich Gujarati diet every day to put on weight. Finally, to get into character I had to gain almost 18kg."
His dedication towards molding himself into the character physically and mentally shows what a great actor he is. His dedication towards the role in Scam 1992 was one of the many leading factors as to why the series was a success. Also, it has changed the way people look at online web series.
We applaud him for his dedication towards his work and wish him the very best for all his new movies and hope to see him again in many more shows and web series.
