Emraan Hashmi is popularly known for stealing hearts on-screen with the versatile characters that he plays and adding to this list, he describes the cutting-edge personality of Raghu Khanna in Showtime.
Talking about the same, Emraan Hashmi said, ”Raghu Khanna is your quintessential Mass Bollywood producer, and he believes in that brand of cinema unwavering. He is someone who would prefer your front benchers and Seeti and Taaliyas in cinema halls to critic reviews for his films. His only yardstick for a film success is box office and commerce, that side of the game. He is in your face, impulsive, volatile, cocksure and a brat. He can do anything to sell a film, his life prioritizes films first and people come second to that. The beautiful and interesting fulcrum in this show, apart from the other things, is that a certain dysfunctionality in the relationship of the father and son with a bit of an undercurrent which you gradually come to know through the show, with a bit of catharsis in Raghu’s character also through these episodes, but it starts off from the dysfunctionality of their family and personal relationship and also it seeps into their different outlooks to how cinema should be. There’s all this constant friction, which is one of the fulcrums of the show. Raghu’s basic mantra is fair means if possible, unfair means if necessary, to get his films out there and make them successful at the box office.”
