Hansal Mehta, who is going through the most successful phase of his directorial career, recently presented the story of another big scam of the country. Buoyed by the success of his previous series ‘Scam 1992’, the makers of this series have planned the entire scam series. The story of this franchise is on the famous stamp paper scam of Maharashtra and this series is based on the book ‘Reporter’s Diary’ by journalist Sanjay Singh.
The name of this series is ‘Scam 2003: The Curious Case of Abdul Karim Telgi’. The infamous Abdul Karim Telgi had created a whole network of supplying fake stamp papers in the country and had also set up a factory in Maharashtra by buying an old currency printing machine in the junk. During the investigation of this case, the name of the wife of a superstar of that time and a strong leader of the state also came up in the investigation. This leader is known to be involved in one way or the other in the ruling party of Maharashtra.
Abdul Karim Telgi, who was born in Khanapur, Karnataka, had done this unique scam with his vicious mind, in which a fraud of 20 thousand crore rupees was found. The famous writer of Marathi cinema, Yagyopaveet has been signed to write this series. Sanjay Singh is also a part of the writing team. Hansal Mehta is the director of the series.
Regarding this, Hansal Mehta says, ‘The shooting of this series is going to start at the end of this year. I am very excited right now to bring the story of another scam to the audience. The countrymen are very much interested in these economic crime stories of the past, this has been proved by the series made on Harshad Mehta. Now we are all going to start working on a new story together and I am very excited about this project.’
