Emraan Hashmi: I don't think I can play a completely clean, righteous person

The money, the business, the glamour, the relationships, the lifestyle, the inside scoop on all of Bollywood’s best-kept secrets, Showtime is releasing exclusively on 8th March on Disney+ Hotstar. Showtime is helmed by Emraan Hashmi, Mahima Makwana with Mouni Roy, Rajeev Khandelwal, Shriya Saran, Vishal Vashishtha, Neeraj Madhav, Vijay Raaz and Naseeruddin Shah in pivotal roles.

Created by Sumit Roy, Showrunner and directed by Mihir Desai and Directed by Archit Kumar, the screenplay by Sumit Roy, Mithun Gangopadhyay and Lara Chandni while the dialogues are written by Jehan Handa and Karan Shrikant Sharma.

Emraan Hashmi has always aced his anti hero roles. He effortlessly slips into the role of Raghu Khanna in Showtime and reveals what drives him to play such characters.

Talking about the same, Emraan Hashmi said,”I don’t think I can play a completely clean, righteous person from at least my screen image. Part and parcel of it is a little bit because of the way I look. People feel that there is always something devious going on and from my first film it’s not like I chose these roles.These roles were in the beginning of a career, you can’t really be picky and choosy. They were thrust upon me and I made the best out of it. The audience kind of also accepted me in characters that have these Gray shades, there’s a redemption to the characters , they’ve have an interesting arc, they’re not squeaky clean righteous.”

Hotstar Specials’ Showtime will stream from March 8, 2024, exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar!
