Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has announced the third edition of his hit series ‘Scam’, titled ‘Scam 2010 - The Subrata Roy Saga’, which will be based on the life of businessman Subrata Roy. However, Mehta is yet to announce the cast of the new series.
The new season is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed first and second part ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’ and ‘Scam 2003: The Telgi Story’. ‘Scam 2010’ is the dust-to-diamonds story of Roy. In the early 2000s, Roy was caught in a whirlwind of accusations ranging from chit-fund manipulations to fake investors, ultimately leading to his arrest in 2014.
Talking about the third edition of ‘Scam’, Hansal Mehta said that it’s not just a franchise for him. "‘Scam’ is not just a franchise for me. It is a chronicling of our times. I’m thrilled to collaborate again with Applause and Sony LIV to bring this larger-than-life story alive,” Mehta said in a statement.
Sameer Nair, Managing Director, Applause Entertainment, said, “Scam” series has become a pop cultural phenomenon. "With 'Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga', we are poised to raise the bar even higher, offering audiences an immersive journey into the life and times of one of the most audacious and ambitious minds in Indian business history,” Nair said.
Based on the book, ‘Sahara: The Untold Story by Tamal Bandyopadhyay’, the Sony LIV series will be produced by Applause Entertainment, in association with Studio Next and helmed by Mehta.
