The second season of director Hansal Mehta’s wildly popular television series “Scam,” which is based on the 2003 Stamp Paper fraud by Abdul Karim Telgi, will premiere on SonyLIV on September 2.

The star of the upcoming season, “Scam 2003: The Telgi Story,” is Gagan Dev Riar. Together with “Saand Ki Aankh” director Tushar Hiranandani, Mehta is the show’s creator and director.

“It’s a special day. And a special announcement. On the 3rd anniversary of @SonyLIV we bring you some good news!” Mehta posted on Twitter alongside a clip announcing the premiere date.

“Scam 2003” is adapted from the Hindi book “Reporter Ki Diary” authored by journalist and news reporter Sanjay Singh, who is credited with breaking the story of the scam back in the time.

“The series promises to be an intriguing watch as it will capture the life of Abdul Karim Telgi, born in Khanapur in Karnataka, and his journey to becoming the mastermind behind one of India’s most ingenious scams spread across 18 states which shook the entire country. It is estimated that the scam value was around Rs 20,000 crores,” the makers said in a press release.

Along with author Singh, Kiran Yadnyopavit, who is best known for writing the successful Marathi films “Natsamrat” and “Kaun Pravin Tambe?,” devised the plot of “Scam 2003.”

In collaboration with StudioNEXT, Applause Entertainment produces the television show.
