Bollywood is definitely much more than all the glamour and glitter that the audiences see on their screens. Showtime brings to the audiences the unexplored and the unseen side of Bollywood and films. Director Mihir Desai shares his inspiration behind the making of the series
Talking about the same, director Mihir Desai said, “While Bollywood shimmers with all the glitz and glam, beneath the surface lies several stories more incredible than any script. Here, amidst the larger-than-life personas and the relentless pursuit of fame, you’ll find hidden struggles and the grit of everyday people pushing the boundaries of filmmaking. In Bollywood, truth is stranger than fiction – some of the stories I’ve witnessed, personally experienced even, are so outlandish they had to make their way into this crazy world of “Showtime”. Yes, egos clash, lines blur, and the pressure mounts, but through it all, there’s an undeniable madness in storytellers, producers and every single crew member that makes Bollywood one family. In “Showtime” we take this madness further and make it about the experiences of insiders and outsiders. What I found fascinating in the script was that being an outsider you often see the industry through rose-tinted glasses. But once you’re in, reality sets in. We tried to best portray this shift in perspective through our protagonists in “Showtime”. Through the making we’ve peppered the show with relevant topics like nepotism, regional cinema comparisons, and actor stereotyping, ensuring it resonates with a wider audience.”
