Scam 2003 – The Telgi Story on OTT: 5 reasons why we’re looking forward to this fast-paced drama

While everyone was submerged in a sea of OTT shows in 2020, it was this one series that really gripped the country – one of India’s favourites – a real game changer in the entertainment industry – Scam 1992, released on Sony LIV and immediately turned into a cult classic. A series that followed the story of one man taking the stock market for a spin.

Sony LIV now brings back a show covering a story on the same tangent – how the passion for money and a thirst for power make one man cross the borders of financial norms dictated by the government to make the money he believes he deserves.

The trailer just dropped, and this line sticks with you ..“ Paisa kamaya nahi, banaya jata hai”…this one line shows how the lead – Gagan Dev Riar – who plays Abdul Karim Telgi sees his wrongs in the right.

This Hindi-language biographical, financial thriller has Tushar Hiranandani directing and Hansal Mehta serving as co-director. This production was inspired by Sanjay Singh’s book “Telgi Scam: Reporter’s ki Diary”, and draws its narrative from the 2003 India Stamp Paper Counterfeiting committed by Abdul Karim Telgi. It is the second instalment in the “Scam” franchise, succeeding “Scam 1992”.
