After a long legal battle and repeated threats of legal action, Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga is finally moving ahead. The much-awaited series marks Hansal Mehta‘s return to the popular Scam franchise. This time, it explores the controversial rise and fall of Sahara India founder Subrata Roy.
Siddharth Bodke will play the lead role in the series. The makers revealed his first look on August 12, creating fresh excitement among viewers. The announcement has also reminded many fans of the success of Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story.
Released in 2020 on SonyLIV, Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story became one of the platform’s biggest hits. The series turned Harshad Mehta’s dramatic rise and eventual downfall into gripping entertainment. It received widespread praise from both critics and audiences.
The show also changed Pratik Gandhi’s career. His performance as Harshad Mehta made him a nationally recognised actor in a short time. Before the series, he was already well known in Gujarati theatre and films.
With Scam 2010, many are now asking whether Siddharth Bodke can achieve similar success. He may not have the same level of national recognition that Pratik Gandhi had before Scam 1992. However, that could work in favour of the new series.
Siddharth Bodke has appeared in projects such as Drishyam 2 and The Family Man. However, Scam 2010 could become the biggest opportunity of his career so far. The series gives him the chance to lead an entire show and reach a wider audience.
Hansal Mehta also faces an important challenge with the new instalment. He will have to show that the Scam franchise can succeed beyond the stories of Harshad Mehta and Abdul Karim Telgi. Expectations are naturally high after the success of the earlier editions.
Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga is expected to premiere on SonyLIV around Diwali 2027. The series arrives with strong expectations and significant interest. Whether it can match the legacy of Scam 1992 remains to be seen.
