Playing lead character in Scam 2010 has honestly been one of the most challenging and special experiences of my career. What interested me the most was understanding the man behind the image. 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, the actor said.

Siddharth further spoke about spending considerable time with the character and working with director Hansal Mehta. I ve lived with this character for a long time, and the process has taught me so much, not just as an actor but also as a person. Working with Hansal sir has been an incredible learning experience and a lot of fun! The Scam series already has such a strong legacy, and being trusted to take that forward is a huge responsibility. I m genuinely excited for people to finally see what we ve created, he added.

With Scam 2010, Hansal Mehta returns to the franchise following Scam 1992. The upcoming series is set to premiere exclusively on Sony LIV in January 2027.
