Gone are the days when only Bollywood films would shatter box-office records. With growing digitalization, OTT platforms are the next big thing and producers are getting associated with topline digital platforms to bring stories which tap the pulse of the audience. As there are no-censor guidelines the content on digital space has become more realistic and based on facts.
Peepingmoon has exclusively learned that a web show on controversial diamond merchant Nirav Modi is being conceptualized for a premium digital platform. He is accused of defrauding the state-owned Punjab National Bank (PNB) with over Rs 13,700 crore. He is currently undergoing extradition proceedings at the UK for money laundering charges amounting up to $2 billion.

The series will cover the initial days of Modi, his growth as a diamond merchant and how he allegedly swindled the banks and creditors and turned fugitive.
