A short teaser of the show was released by Sony LIV on their official Instagram outlet recently. It featured theatre actor Gagan Dev Riar as Abdul Karim Telgi with iconic 'Scam 1992' background music playing in the background. The post was captioned as, "Starring Gagan Dev Riar as Telgi, Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with StudioNext, Scam 2003: The Telgi Story will be helmed by show runner Hansal Mehta and director Tushar Hiranandani.

The show will be based on the book 'Reporter Ki Diary' by journalist Sanjay Singh. Talking about this project, Hansal Mehta had stated, “I am delighted to be back with exploring yet another fascinating story following the immense success of Scam 1992. The new season of this franchise will focus on another riveting story that shook the country a few years ago – the stamp paper scam.”
