Siddharth Bodke steps into the role of a high-profile financial fraudster in the upcoming Scam 2010, set to premiere on Sony LIV in January 2027.
The first look of Scam 2010 is out, and with it, the promise of another gripping deep dive into India’s most infamous financial scandals. Siddharth Bodke takes the lead as the central figure behind the 2010 scam, a role he describes as one of the most challenging of his career.
Hansal Mehta returns to helm the project, following the massive success of Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story. That series, which premiered in 2020, became a benchmark for streaming dramas in India, blending real-life drama with careful storytelling. Now, Mehta is back with a new installment that promises to dissect another era of financial recklessness.
Bodke, speaking about the role, emphasized the need to understand the man behind the myth. "We all know the larger-than-life personality, but I wanted to explore who he really was, what drove him, and why he made the choices he did," he said in a statement shared by Sony LIV.
The series is produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment, and will premiere exclusively on Sony LIV in January 2027. No official release date beyond that month has been confirmed, but the countdown has officially begun.
For fans of the franchise, this is more than just a sequel — it’s a continuation of a narrative thread that redefined how Indian audiences engage with true crime stories on screen. The tone, pacing, and depth of Scam 1992 set a high bar. Whether Scam 2010 can match it remains to be seen, but the early signs are promising.
Mehta’s return signals a commitment to authenticity and character-driven storytelling. Bodke’s preparation, described as immersive and emotionally taxing, suggests the series won’t be a mere retelling of headlines, but a psychological portrait of ambition, hubris, and consequence.
The casting alone has sparked conversation. Bodke, known for his nuanced performances in regional cinema, now steps into a pan-India spotlight. His portrayal of a complex, controversial figure could mark a turning point in his career.
Sony LIV’s decision to greenlight the project speaks volumes about the brand’s confidence in the franchise. With two entries already under its belt, the Scam series has become a flagship for serious, well-researched content in India’s OTT landscape.
January 2027 isn’t far, yet it feels like a lifetime away for fans waiting to see how this story unfolds. One thing’s certain: the next chapter in the Scam saga is already being talked about.
