Sharing the trailer of Showtime, Karan Johar took to his Instagram account. In the trailer, Emraan portrays the character of a powerful film producer. Mahima Makwana’s character, a reporter, can be heard engaging in discussions about various topics, including nepotism on television.
Rajeev Khandelwal portrays a Bollywood star who appears to be intoxicated by his own fame. He has a dedicated group of followers known as Armanians, possibly influenced by singer Armaan Malik, and declines to be part of a movie supported by Emraan’s character. In the final moments of the trailer, Emraan passionately expresses his emotions outside Rajeev’s bungalow, using strong language.

Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Somen Mishra, and Mihir Desai are involved in the production of the show as executive producers.
Excited about Showtime, Emraan earlier said in a statement, “Being in the industry for so long, I have seen both the good and bad side of it, so when this show came to me, I grabbed the opportunity of being a part of it and could resonate with it on various levels”.
