“This time around in 'Showtime,' we explore the personal journeys of each character, delving deep into their inner worlds. Emraan Hashmi's portrayal of the lone wolf Raghu Khanna offers audiences a glimpse into the complex persona beneath the surface. The series follows characters entangled in a captivating whirlwind of circumstances. What initially seems like a mere exposé of the big bad world of Bollywood unfolds into dramatic and emotional narratives of greed, ambition, and resilience. I can't wait for Disney+Hotstar audiences to witness all the drama as characters navigate the intricate choices between love and ambition.”

“Just like any other place, the industry also has its ups and downs, but once you understand its true dynamics, you are here to stay. Raghu Khanna is a version of Karan Johar and his passion and drive to do his best at any challenge he takes upon, always reminds me of Karan. Sometimes I wonder, if there were producers like Raghu Khanna within the industry, what would be its fate? In my career of so many years, I have never come across a producer like Raghu, who can rise from the toxicity of Bollywood. Today's producers are working on the whims and fancies of actors and Raghu is exactly the opposite. From losing the biggest studios of all time “Viktory Studios”, to an outsider to having a rough time with the love of his life, Yasmin (Mouni Roy), Raghu has faced a lot, but does that mean it's the end of the story? Will he rise above the ashes and chase what is his?”

“Yasmin’s fate is a strong mirror to what happens to many actresses in the business who take a stand for themselves, despite being trolled by the fans and the industry. While this trolling didn’t define who we are, but as actors we live for the love of our audiences and that’s the reason why this negative energy leaves an impact on us. In the series, Yasmin constantly fights an inner battle and tries to come back stronger. You'll also witness a new dynamic between Yasmin and Raghu Khanna. I loved bringing Yasmin to life on screen, and I hope audiences enjoy all episodes of Showtime.”
