28 June, 2024, Mumbai: Get ready to dive  into the glamorous world of Bollywood as Disney+ Hotstar and Dharmatic Entertainment drop the much awaited trailer of Showtime. From dazzling stardom, to accepting one’s true self, producer wars to intense struggles, the industry has it all. But it's the resilience to bounce back that truly defines a star, as every setback is just a setup for a spectacular comeback and Raghu Khanna does just that. He is back and here to dominate the world of showbiz. All episodes of Showtime are set to stream exclusively 12th July onwards, on Disney+ Hotstar. Showtime is helmed by Emraan Hashmi, Mahima Makwana with Mouni Roy, Rajeev Khandelwal, Shriya Saran, Vishal Vashishtha, Neeraj Madhav and  Vijay Raaz in pivotal roles.

Created by Sumit Roy, Showrunner and directed by Mihir Desai and Directed by Archit Kumar, the screenplay by Sumit Roy, Mithun Gangopadhyay and Lara Chandni while the dialogues are written by Jehan Handa and Karan Shrikant Sharma. 

“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.”
– Mihir Desai, Showrunner and Director
“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?”
– Emran Hashmi, Actor
“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.”
– Mouni Roy, Actress

Get ready for the ultimate showbiz showdown, Showtime, all episodes will be streaming 12th July, 2024, onwards exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar

Jaldi 5 with Ajit Thakur: Loads to fix & learn before we set our eyes on #1

There was much cheer last week when Life OK took the #3 slot amongst Hindi GECs in the weekly TAM ratings. But we held back and said that we should wait for another week before interviewing Ajit Thakur, Star India General Manager and Business Head of the channel. The weekly numbers that came out yesterday saw Life OK ahead yet again. MxMIndia spoke with Mr Thakur, hours after it was known that Life OK was the #3 Hindi GEC for the second consecutive week as per TAM numbers.

India might still not be in the throes of the beautiful game, but there is no giving the fact that the popularity of the sport is slowly and steadily seeping through towns and cities of India, particularly among the youth.
