About Scam 2010
The production of 'Scam' Season 3 is undertaken by Applause Entertainment in collaboration with Studio Next, with direction by Hansal Mehta. While the release date and cast of the show are still pending announcement, it is confirmed to premiere on the OTT platform Sony LIV.
Hansal Mehta said in a statement, "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.”
'Scam 2010' recounts the transformational journey of maverick businessman Subrata Roy, from rags to riches. During the early 2000s, Roy, known for his glamorous lifestyle, found himself entangled in a series of allegations, including chit-fund manipulations and dealing with fake investors. These accusations culminated in his arrest in 2014. Despite this, around 25,000 crore rupees remain unclaimed with government authorities, indicating the ongoing impact and consequences of the Scam even today.
