Emraan Hashmi launched the trailer of "Showtime"

"Showtime" will be released on March 8th

The show is about Bollywood: Emraan

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi launched the trailer of his upcoming Disney Hotstar program titled “Showtime.” “The show is about Bollywood, there are a lot of things in it we have dabbled with following the main story. It is about star egos, what it is to be a woman in this industry, how a film is made, what are the conversations that happen in a producer’s office when a film is being made. It unmasks those vulnerabilities. There is this external shame that our industry has, this superficiality from the outside that the show unmasks. What is it like to be a star on Friday morning when a film is released? It gives an in-depth insight into the world of Bollywood– that is beautiful, chaotic, entertaining,” he said in a press conference held for the release of the trailer. 

Emraan Hashmi also opined on the phenomenon of the Bollywood workplace not being conducive. “When people say that Bollywood is a very bad place or it is an unfair place, I think it is the perspective of a person who is working here. If you have resilience, can roll with the punches, I don’t think it is an unfair place. But if you don’t have that, if you are not willing to put in the hard work, (ready for) hardships and heartaches… Everyone works hard, so there is a factor of environment, luck. You have to be able to take it on the chin. It is a very fair place, you just have to roll with punches,” Emraan expressed. 

“Showtime” produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic will be released on March 8th on Disney Hotstar.
