Karan Johar collaborates with Emraan Hashmi and Naseeruddin Shah for a new web series called Showtime
It seems Karan Johar has taken some of the tags given to him a little too seriously. The filmmaker is now coming up with a new web series on nepotism titled Showtime, and it has already caused a stir on the internet. This will mark Karan`s first ever web series as a producer.
Bringing in a stellar cast of some spectacular actors, Showtime is headlined by Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah, and Mouni Roy. It also stars Rajeev Khandelwal, Shriya Saran, and Vijay Raaz, among others, in prominent roles.
The filmmaker took to Instagram and shared the Showtime teaser. It looks promising and rather intriguing as the cast unveils the menacing and intimidating side of the film industry.
The teaser for Showtime starts with a larger-than-life poster with Badshaah of Bollywood written on it. The role is played by none other than the versatile Emraan Hashmi.
His introductory dialogue is whistle-worthy as he says, “Nepotism ke mukhaute ke peeche aakhir mein har outsider insider banna chahta hai (at the end, every outsider wants to become an insider behind the garb of nepotism)."

The teaser further unveils glimpses of Mouni Roy, who plays an actor-dancer. The web series also features Viajy Raaz, Shriya Saran, and Rajeev Khandelwal in prominent roles.
As the Showtime teaser approaches its end, Naseeruddin Shah`s character seems to be the mastermind of the entire showbiz game, who says, "Cinema dhandha nahi dharam hai saadda (cinema is not my business but my religion)."
Sharing the clip on Instagram, Karan Johar wrote, “Welcome to the world that functions on lights, cameras, and action! Entangled in a struggle for power, Showtime is a web series that will draw boundaries, only to cross them. #HotstarSpecials #Showtime, coming 2024 only on Disney+ Hotstar! #ShowtimeOnHotstar.”
Showtime releases next year on Disney+ Hotstar.
