GAS: Error when using UrlFetchApp

I am using the senotp serverside api to verify a number. When it is run using soap ui with the same content there's no error. But when I do it with UrlFetchApp it gives the error: 

{"status":"error","response":{"code":"INVALID_REQUEST_BODY"}}

whereas the correct response should be:

{
   "status": "success",
   "response":    {
      "code": "OTP_SENT_SUCCESSFULLY",
      "oneTimePassword": "34859"
   }
}

The code I used is as foll0ws:

var payload =
      {
        "countryCode": "94",
        "mobileNumber": "0766075555",
        "getGeneratedOTP": true
      };

  var header=
      {
        "application-Key":"application_key_value"
      };


  var options =
   {
     "method" : "POST",
     "headers":header,
     "muteHttpExceptions": true,
     "contentType":"application/json",
     "payload" :  payload
   };

  var request=UrlFetchApp.getRequest("https://sendotp.msg91.com/api/generateOTP", options)
  Logger.log(request)
  var response=UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://sendotp.msg91.com/api/generateOTP", options);
  Logger.log(response);

I am not sure what is the problem here. Please help me debug it or let me know what is the problem with the code.

It seems as if using payload in GAS fetchService automatically results in contentType : application/x-www-form-urlencoded or contentType : multipart/form-data.

See documentention: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/url-fetch/url-fetch-app#fetch(String,Object)

Unfortunately, I have not yet found a workaround.
