Emraan Hashmi On Disney+ Hotstar’s Bollywoodland Drama ‘Showtime’: “It’s A Very Cutthroat World”


Indian movie star Emraan Hashmi on his role in Disney+ Hotstar's new behind-the-scenes-of-Bollywood drama 'Showtime'.

Minor spoilers follow: In the series, he plays Raghu, the son of Viktor Khanna (Naseeruddin Shah), a former Bollywood producer, who distrusts his child to take over the running of his famed Victory Studios. After one of Raghu’s movies is savaged by critics, his father decides to pass control to the journalist (Mahima Makwana) who wrote the article — revealing she is his secret granddaughter. Hashmi says the collaboration has been “fantastic” with showrunner Mihir Desai, director Archie Kumar, screenwriters Mithun Gangopadhyay and Lara Chandni and dialog scribes Jehan Handa and Karan Shrikant Sharma.
