The new teaser similar to the first one, shows a scene where possibly one of the SBI's employee visits the Times of India office to let a journalist know about the fraud worth 500 crore taking place in the bank.

While announcing the show in 2018, Hansal had revealed he had thought about making a film on the topic. "I had read the The Scam many years ago and even toyed with the idea of making it into a film. The film never got made! I believe every story has its destiny. "

Bankrolled by Applause Entertainment, Scam 1992 is a financial thriller series about 1992's Harshad Mehta scam. Stockbroker Harshad Mehta was popularly known as the 'Amitabh Bachchan of Stock Market', and was named and charged with several financial crimes that took place during the 1992 security scams. Abhishek Bachchan-starrer The Big Bull is also set to have a similar narrative and will possibly release some time soon.

Coming back to SonyLIV's web series, it also stars Satish Kaushik, Rajat Kapoor, Ananth Mahadevan and Nikhil Dwivedi in pivotal roles.
