Fate works in mysterious ways. In 2008, Harman Baweja, like any debutant, hoped for the audience’s love and a promising career as he forayed into films with Love Story 2050. Unfortunately, that was not to be. Today, after almost nine years of having walked away from acting, he is the subject of wide praise. The actor shone bright in Hansal Mehta’s latest series, Scoop. Like most good things in life, Baweja says the comeback was unplanned. “I’ve been writing and producing films. Hansal and I were collaborating on another project, when he said that he would like me to play JCP Shroff in Scoop. I told him I hadn’t acted in years, but he told me to trust him. I then suggested that they take my audition,” recounts the actor.
Led by Karishma Tanna, the Netflix series is inspired by Jigna Vora’s book Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison, and follows the events after she was accused of being an accomplice in the 2011 murder of mid-day’s then-crime and investigations editor Jyotirmoy Dey.
