When we talk about the best crime dramas on OTT, ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’ always stays at the top. Pratik Gandhi’s famous dialogue, “Risk hai toh Ishq hai,” made the series a massive hit. Now, the internet is buzzing again because the makers are back with the third chapter: ‘Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga.’
Why is ‘Scam 1992’ Trending Again?
The reason behind the sudden trend on social media is the expansion of this franchise. After the success of Scam 2003: The Telgi Story, director Hansal Mehta is ready to tell the story of Sahara Group founder Subrata Roy. Fans are excited to see if this story can recreate the same magic as Harshad Mehta.
What is the Story of ‘Scam 2010’?
Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga will show the “rise and fall” of the Sahara India Pariwar head. His journey started with just ₹2,000 and an old scooter, eventually building one of India’s biggest corporate empires. Subrata Roy, often called ‘Saharashree,’ dominated sectors like finance, real estate, and hospitality. However, in 2010, his success faced major legal trouble.
The series will focus on the intense legal battle between Sahara and SEBI. The most dramatic part of the story will be the 2014 arrest that shocked the nation. While Subrata Roy claimed he was helping small investors, he was accused of raising funds illegally through ‘OFCD bonds.’
Legal Troubles and Controversies
The series has already run into trouble. Sahara India Pariwar has warned of legal action, saying that calling the story a ‘Scam’ is wrong and defamatory. According to them, it was a legal dispute over jurisdiction, not a fraud.
Release Date and Casting
Produced by Applause Entertainment and SonyLIV, the shooting for this series is expected to start by late May 2026. The makers are planning to release it in early 2027.
Who Will Play the Lead?
Pratik Gandhi was the heart of Scam 1992. Now, everyone is wondering which actor will play the complex role of Subrata Roy. After Harshad Mehta and Abdul Karim Telgi, it will be interesting to see who becomes the next ‘Mastermind’ on the internet.
