New Delhi, OTT has brightened the fortunes of many actors. Many actors of the 90s made a comeback through this platform. Although he couldn’t show his magic on the silver screen, he created a strong identity through OTT. One such actor is Harman Baweja. He made his debut in Bollywood in the year 2008 with the film ‘Love Story 2050’. Boman Irani and Priyanka Chopra were seen in important roles with him in this film. Actor Harry Baweja’s father had directed this film especially to launch his son.
This film, starring Harman Baweja-Priyanka Chopra and directed by Harry Baweja, turned out badly at the box office. Harman Baweja, who started his career with flop films, never tasted success even once in his 16 year long career. None of his films could really impress the audience. After giving back to back flop films, Harman was disappointed and distanced himself from the industry.
Harman Baweja made a comeback with Hansal Mehta’s web series ‘Scoop’.
The actor did not want to do the role
Frustrated with not being able to earn money in films, the actor came back with a bang from OTT. He was last seen in Hansal Mehta’s web series ‘Scoop’. He won everyone’s applause by playing the role of a gray-hued police officer in this film. Recently, the director of the series Hansal Mehta said in an interview with Mashable India that Harman Baweja was initially hesitant to say yes to ‘Scoop’.
He blackmailed the director
When Harman did not agree to do the web series after many requests, the director finally had to emotionally blackmail him by taking his father’s name Harry Baweja. Hansal Mehta says in his interview, ‘I had full faith in him (Harman Baweja). His father was ill and because of this I had to tell him to work in this series for his father, he would be very proud of you.
The veteran director further said that when everyone was praising the actor in the web series ‘Scoop’, he made a video call to him and on the video call, the actor’s father started laughing and crying like a child after reading the review.
