Applause Entertainment, the creative force behind the globally acclaimed Scam series, proudly announces the third chapter of their franchise. Building upon the success of Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Scam 2003: The Telgi Story, the newest instalment will explore the depths of one of India’s most storied financial scandals - Scam 2010 - The Subrata Roy Saga. Based on the book – Sahara: the Untold Story by Tamal Bandyopadhyay. The series will be Produced by Applause Entertainment, in association with Studio Next and helmed by Hansal Mehta.

A Closer Look at Subrata Roy's Controversial Empire:

Scam 2010 is the dust-to-diamonds story of maverick businessman Subrata Roy. In the early 2000s, the glamourous Roy was caught in a whirlwind of accusations ranging from chit-fund manipulations to fake investors, ultimately leading to his arrest in 2014. With approx. 25,000 crore rupees still lying unclaimed with government authorities, the repercussions of the Scam continue to reverberate even today.

From the gripping portrayal of Harshad Mehta’s meteoric rise and fall in the stock market to the vivid depiction of Abdul Karim Telgi’s counterfeit empire, the Scam franchise sheds light on the infamous tales of financial fraud in India. Scam 2010 - The Subrata Roy Saga will be exclusively available on Sony LIV.
