Scam 2003 Date Announcement:
The highly-anticipated series, Scam 2003: The Telgi Story, based on the intriguing life of Abdul Karim Telgi, is set to premiere on SonyLIV in just a few months. This announcement comes as SonyLIV celebrates its third anniversary as a streaming platform. Following the massive success of Hansal Mehta’s Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, The Telgi Story serves as a follow-up to the gripping narrative. Audiences can mark their calendars for September 2, the official release date on SonyLIV.
While Hansal Mehta co-directed the first season with his son, he will take on the role of showrunner this time around. Tushar Hiranandani will direct the series, which delves into the life of Abdul Karim Telgi, a counterfeiter notorious for printing fake stamp paper. The scam, which spanned multiple states, sent shockwaves across the entire country. The web series is adapted from the Hindi book Reporter ki Diary, written by journalist Sanjay Singh, who broke the story.
SonyLIV took to social media to share the news with an accompanying video, stating, “As SonyLIV 2.0 turns 3 today, we begin the celebration with a special announcement for you! #Scam2003OnSonyLIV.”
