Filmmaker Hansal Mehta on Wednesday announced that filming has begun on Scam Season 2, which will tackle the 2003 Stamp Paper fraud by Abdul Karim Telgi.

The new season is a follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story. It is adapted from the Hindi book Reporter ki Diary by journalist Sanjay Singh, who is credited with breaking the story of the scam.

Hansal Mehta took to Instagram and posted a picture of the clapboard from the sets. The filmmaker tagged the crew of the series, including producer Sameer Nair, casting director Mukesh Chhabra and writers Karan Vyas and Kiran Yadnyopavit.
