SonyLIV’s Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, produced by Applause Entertainment, has another feather in its cap. The web-series is the only Indian show to be nominated alongside other international productions for the Excellence In Title Design at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Texas, United States.
