Renowned filmmaker Hansal Mehta has unveiled plans for the third installment of his highly successful ‘Scam’ series, titled ‘Scam 2010 – The Subrata Roy Saga’.
The upcoming series will delve into the life and controversies surrounding businessman Subrata Roy.
Based on the book ‘Sahara: The Untold Story’ by Tamal Bandyopadhyay, the SonyLIV series will be produced by Applause Entertainment in collaboration with Studio Next, with Mehta at the helm.
