Showtime, the new Disney+ Hotstar original, is all about the Hindi film industry. Apart from the glam and the glitz, there is a lot of hard work and stress that goes into mounting, producing, and releasing a film. Showtime by Sumit Roy plans to cover that and bring forward the story of the countless tasks a producer and a studio must engage in. Showtime is about show business, as understood from the title, and it has several characters that make the series interesting. These characters bring to life the roles that many may or may not encounter in real life. They are the backbone of any show or movie, and they never get enough credit for the hard work they put in.

Actor Emraan Hashmi, who is gearing up for his upcoming streaming series ‘Showtime’, feels that he is not fit to be a producer. The actor shared that he has only produced one film so far in his career but there too he was more of a “silent producer” as he was acting in it as well. The film in question is the 2019 film ‘Why Cheat India’. The actor confessed that he is more of a creative person than a finance-related one.
“I don’t think I’m fit to be a producer. I did produce one film, but I was more of a silent producer and was playing the actor also in it, so my producer self took a backseat. I am a more creative person than a business-minded person. I got a commerce degree, but there’s a running joke in my family that I wanted to be in arts,...

The actor spoke to producer-director Karan Johar at the show’s trailer launch when KJo asked him about the one thing that he dislikes about his community of producers.
The actor shared that he doesn’t align with thought-process of a producer whose single point focus is the return on investment and not producing quality content.
Emraan Hashmi told KJo: “Barring you, this is for some of the producers I’ve worked with. I think some producers are purely driven by the commerce in films, and I think that’s a bit of thing that doesn’t align with my thinking because they look at film only as a proposal and people, who work in the film, only as commodities.

Karan Johar is one of those directors whose name is an adjective. Throughout his 25-year career as a filmmaker, perhaps one of the harshest critiques he’s read of his work is “That’s very Karan Johar.”
“I feel like I read, ‘Oh, this is so dramatic, but that’s very Karan Johar. … ‘Oh, this is so melodramatic. That’s so very Karan Johar.’ … ‘This is a world that you can’t believe, but that’s very Karan Johar,'” Johar told IndieWire during a recent Zoom interview on the heels of his latest directorial release, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.” “I’ve read, of course, a lot of great things as well, and I’m very grateful for that, but I’ve also had some really nasty things about my filmmaking. You get slotted into a genre, right?”

Mumbai, July 28 (Ians) Family, love, differences between the couple and lots of drama have always been at the core of umpteen love stories. So what’s new about Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’?
There isn’t any, and yet there is some!
It’s so much that it’s ‘old wine in a new bottle’, and yet, there is a huge difference too. Besides the presence and the unique combination of veterans such as Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan, there’s the chemistry between Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt that is easily the highlight of this nearly three-hour-long family entertainer.
And yes, there’s Pritam’s foot-tapping music too, though what the audience seems to be enjoying the most are some of the most popular Hindi film hits from the ’60s through the ’80s — these have them singing along loudly.
That’s not all that makes this film special.

Staring Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi
Directed by Karan Johar
Wait! Do we see an upsurge in the number of men joining Kathak classes after Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani? Among the many things that writers Sumit Roy, Shashank Khaitan and Ishita Moitra tells us in this kaleidoscopic view of life on Malamaal Hill, is that it’s okay for men to adopt traditionally female roles.
And listen, if you like Kathak dancing it doesn’t mean you are effeminate or gay. Tota Roy Chowdhury converts the boorish Punjabi loutish epitome of toxic masculinity Rocky, played with lipsmacking relish by Ranveer Singh. Before we know it the two men are dancing together to Sanjay Bhansali’s ‘Dola re dola re’ without the being the least conscious of the feminine expressions. Move over Aishwarya, Madhuri…

Filmmaker Karan Johar says there are many verticals that need to be observed while paying male and female stars, but he has always paid them equally.
"There is a larger understanding of the economics of movies that sometimes is lesser known by people, who don't understand the business and how it functions. Many times, people make sweeping statements about these things."

"I'm the first person who'll always want to pay what is completely right, just, justified and valid. I've always done that. But I feel there is a larger understanding of budget versus the verticals that you sell on digital and satellite that are driven by different data," Karan said, when the subject of gender pay gap in Bollywood came up during an interactive media session that Johar hosted along with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt at Mami Movie Mela in Mumbai on Sunday evening.

For those who thought Vicky Kaushal’s Masaan act last year was just a one-off flash in the pan affair, Zubaan is an eye-opener. Kaushal plays Dilsher, the waylaid Sikh boy from Gurdaspur who only wants to be successful in ways that we normally describe success. So he schemes his way into the heart mind home and property of a business tycoon Sikand (Manish Chaudhary, exuding arrogant power the way Amrish Puri did in Subhash Ghai’s Pardes) ends up getting what he thinks he wants.
From here onwards first-time director Mozez Singh (who must be kidding about being a debutant, which first-timer would be able to make film so confident and compelling??!!) charts Dilsher’s descent into a selfserving opportunism and then his sudden swerve into redemption. This journey back and forth on the scale of morality has been undertaken repeatedly in films as far-ranging as Raman Kumar’s...
