Scam 2010 first look: Siddharth Bodke plays Subrata Roy
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
The first look of actor Siddharth Bodke from Hansal Mehta's upcoming series Scam 2010 has been released. The third instalment of the franchise will trace the journey of late businessman Subrata Roy, founder of Sahara Group, and is adapted from Tamal Bandyopadhyay's book Sahara: The Untold Story. According to reports, Roy raised over Rs 24,000 crore from investors unlawfully, leading to a high-profile legal battle with SEBI. The show is now in production and will stream exclusively on Sony LIV.
The Indian Opinion
The Scam franchise has been praised for its gripping storytelling, but some critics argue it risks humanising fraudsters. The focus on Subrata Roy's 'ambition and arrogance' should not obscure the fact that thousands of investors lost their savings. The real test will be whether the series honestly depicts the harm caused by the alleged Rs 24,000 crore scam or leans into a heroic rise-and-fall arc.
