'Please Don't Make Unfair Comparisons', Says Hansal Mehta On Comparison Between 'The Big Bull' And 'Scam 1992'

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta doesn't believe in the comparison between the Hindi movie, "The Big Bull" and his directorial web series "Scam 1992". "Scam 1992" received rave reviews for the direction of Mehta along with Pratik Gandhi acting. The series is based on the biggest Indian stock market scam in 1992 which was done by Harshad Mehta who was the mastermind behind the disruption to the stock market of India, with over one billion USD defrauded. ## "The Big Bull", directed by Kookie Gulati and stars Abhishek Bachchan in a character based on Harshad Mehta, also based on the same storyline as Scam 1992 but with different twists and turns. The trailer was dropped on Friday (March 19), and people started making compression between the two with some calling "The Big Bull" not up to the standard of Hansal Mehta's directorial show. ## "Please don't make unfair comparisons. There can be multiple tales on the same story. Every story-teller will have his own way and should be seen independent of the other. This film has so many talents involved just like my show. They’ve done their best and they deserve your love", Mehta tweeted in response to a user. ## "And very intriguing trailer with such phenomenal actors. You are in great form @juniorbachchan. More power to the entire team of #TheBigBull on @DisneyPlusHS", he added. ## And very intriguing trailer with such phenomenal actors. You are in great form @juniorbachchan.

Ekta Kapoor And Dibakar Banerjee Reunite For LSD 2

On completing 11 years of the release of anthology adult drama, "Love Sex Aur Dhokha", Ekta Kapoor has joined hands again with director Dibakar Banerjee for the sequel of LSD to introduce the new wave of experimental cinema. ## LSD 2 will be produced by Cult Movies, the new division started by Ekta Kapoor to promote new age and edgy stories. It will be Cult Movies' second venture after the recently announced "Dobaaraa" which is directed by Anurag Kashyap and stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role.## "LSD is best remembered for its riveting storytelling and innovative music. And what better day than today to announce the second part of one of our most loved and critically acclaimed films. Dibakar's craft and storytelling prowess are superlative and I am thrilled to associate with him yet again. We are hopeful to recreate the magic this time around as well and hope that the audience will laud and appreciate LSD 2 as much as they did the first part", Ekta Kapoor said in a statement.## Ekta Kapoor took to Twitter and announced the sequel of LSD to capture newer, higher, and wilder territories and hopeful to take the LSD legacy forward. ## In 2010, #LSD hit theatres & now 11 years later... we are back to capture newer, higher and wilder territories.#ShobhaKapoor @RuchikaaKapoor #DibakarBanerjee @_CultMovies #CultMovies— Ekta Kapoor (@ektarkapoor) March 19, 2021 ## "LSD was a moment of change in our lives captured through the voice of technology that was changing our souls. A decade later another wave of technology is changing the way we think, dream, live, love and hate. We are changing again into something we don't quite know. LSD 2 will be a journey into those unknown depths. It won't be a story for the family. It may be something we scare ourselves at night with. It could be a mirror of what we are becoming. Ekta Kapoor has been the unchallenged disruptor and game-changer in the way we consume narratives in India. Our collaboration again, I'm sure, will be an unpredictable and thrilling roller coaster ride", said Dibakar Banerjee.## LSD 2 is expected to go on floors later in 2021 and will be releasing in the first half of next year. ## Stay tuned...
