Helmed by Tushar Hiranandani, the series is all set to stream on the streaming platform SonyLIV from September 2.

Veteran theatre artist Gagan Dev Riar will be seen headlining the show Scam 2003: The Telgi Story.

The Telgi Story is a follow-up to Hansal Mehta's 2020 hit Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story. Scam 2003 is adapted from the Hindi book 'Reporter Ki Diary', authored by journalist Sanjay Singh, who broke the story of the scam back in the time.

Scam 2003 tells the story of Abdul Karim Telgi's 2003 Stamp Paper Scam. The series promises to be an interesting watch as it follows Abdul Karim Telgi, who was born in Khanapur, Karnataka, and his journey to becoming the mastermind behind one of India's most ingenious scams that spanned 18 states. The scam's estimated value was around £2000 million.

Soon after the makers unveiled the teaser, fans flooded the comment section with red hearts and fire emoticons.

Charli XCX’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ sparks buzz as she builds the entire film album on her own terms

Highlights:

  • Charli XCX sets the tone for a darker, sharper chapter with Wuthering Heights

  • Album arrives 13 February with Charli writing most of it with Finn Keane
  • Project began as one song for Emerald Fennell’s film but grew into a full record

Charli XCX Wuthering Heights drops her straight into a new lane that is moodier, louder in emotion, and stitched to a film that’s already carrying weight. The singer’s new album, which ties into Emerald Fennell’s adaptation, is clearly a sharp pivot from the neon chaos of Brat. You hear that in Chains of Love, the new single, and in the way she talks about this chapter in her notes on the Charli XCX new album plans.
