Director Hansal Mehta has formally unveiled the teaser for the next chapter in his investigative web series anthology, titled Scam 2010. The upcoming drama focuses on the life, business empire, and surrounding controversies of Sahara Group founder Subrata Roy. Alongside the initial footage, the production revealed the first look of the lead actor stepping into the central role.
Siddharth Bodke Cast in the Lead Role

Connecting the Franchise Across Eras
The latest installment builds directly on the critical and commercial success of Scam 1992 and Scam 2003.

The casting choice has generated widespread positive discussion among viewers online.

The narrative of Scam 2010 draws directly from journalist Tamal Bandyopadhyay's investigative book, titled Sahara: The Untold Story. It explores the intricate rise and subsequent legal confrontations surrounding the Sahara Group's corporate journey. The creators have officially scheduled the series for release in January 2027.
