2020 was not the year of films, it was the year of web series. Actors who were always around but were not noticed were at the centre of the limelight in much-needed and much-acclaimed shows that rightly tapped into their talent. Here are the names of the biggest OTT stars of the year:
1. Pratik Gandhi - Scam 1992
Pratik Gandhi was the hero's friend in LoveYatri and Mitron in 2018, and in 2020, he was nearly everyone's friend. Why? Because he played a character everyone wanted to know and understand. He played Harshad Mehta, the man responsible for bringing the term 'scam' into existence. Not many knew how the man spoke or sensed things, so Gandhi became the man's representation, nailing the language and the nuances, and making himself one of the biggest stars of the year. His success is no scam!
