About Scam 2010 – The Subrata Roy Saga
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.
The third instalment in the Scam series is being helmed by Hansal Mehta and is based on the book ‘Sahara: The Untold Story’ by Tamal Bandyopadhyay.’ Applause Entertainment will be producing the series in association with Studio Next. The series will stream on Sony LIV.
