'Scam 2010' is the story of Roy from dust-to-diamonds and in the early 2000s, Subrata Roy was also caught in many accusations ranging from chit-fund manipulations to fake investors. He was then arrested in 2014.

"Scam is not just a franchise for me. It is a chronicling of our times,” said Hansal Mehta in a statement.

Danish Khan, SonyLIV, said they are delighted to collaborate with Mehta and Applause Entertainment for the next Scam series. “The series has consistently been the most viewed franchise on Sony LIV and we are confident that the third edition will create newer benchmarks in compelling storytelling,” he said.

Hansal Mehta is yet to announce the lead star cast for the series.
