'Scam S4': Hansal Mehta hints at OTT series on Byju's mess, gets support on Twitter

One of the most talked about stories in India in the past week has been the financial mess at edutech firm Byju's, which has made the news for missing deadlines on financial statements, losing board members and auditors and not making regular payments on on a $1.2 billion loan.

Director Hansal Mehta indicated that the issues faced by Byju's were worthy of becoming an OTT series and even hinted at a title for the series-" Scam S4 - The Byju scam".

Mehta was reacting to a tweet he had posted in October 2021 when he called Byju's "a total sham" and stated that the workings in the firm was a "material" for Scam season 4. Mehta had reacted to the news of the edutech firm pausing the ads that had Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan after his son Aryan Khan was arrested.
Mehta's tweet received several comments, many of whom said the mess at Byju would make for a great watch on OTT platform.

"Let this be your next project. I must use this opportunity to congratulate you on the success of #Scoop, one of the best web series ever. Watched twice," one user wrote.

"Congratulations Sir you have got a story.. looking forward to the another masterpiece," another user wrote.

In a more detailed tweet posted on Thursday, Mehta said that he had called out Byju's when the firm had visited his residence to sell programs which were unnecessary for his daughter.
Mehta directed the much-acclaimed "Scam 1992", released in 2020, which told the story of how Harshad Mehta took the Indian stock exchange to dizzying heights before suffering a disastrous fall.
