New Delhi:

After the success of Tiger 3, Emraan Hashmi is all set to seem within the Disney+ Hotstar sequence Showtime. The present, which additionally stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Mahima Makwana, is produced by Karan Johar. In a promotional interview with Bollywood Bubble, Emraan Hashmi was requested if his character on Showtime bears a resemblance to his controversial look on the Koffee With Karan present. FYI: During a KWK episode, Emraan had referred to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as “plastic.” While answering the query, Emraan said, “I’m taking part in a fictional character right here [Showtime], who calls a spade a spade. Talking about that present [Koffee With Karan] that you simply spoke about proper now, effectively I needed to bear the brunt for it for fairly a while for actually calling a spade a spade.”

“You know what, when that rapid-fire round happened, Karan [Johar] had cut the shot, and he just looked around on the set and everyone was dumbfounded. He asked ‘Can you actually keep this [Emraan’s answer]?’ And a couple of people behind the camera said ‘Yes’,” Emraan Hashmi added.

For context, in 2014, Emraan Hashmi made an appearance on Karan Johar’s popular chat show, Koffee With Karan, accompanied by his uncle, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. However, it was during the rapid-fire round that Emraan stirred controversy. When asked, “The first thing that comes to your mind when you hear Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s name,” Emraan responded promptly with “plastic,” causing a stir. Additionally, he made a controversial remark about Shraddha Kapoor’s physique, suggesting that she should eat more. 

Last year, in an interview with Zoom, Emraan Hashmi shared his thoughts on the possibility of appearing as a guest again on Koffee With Karan. He expressed, “If I go on Koffee With Karan again, I will end up making a mess of things again. I think I will give worse answers in the rapid-fire round than I did before. Because it is your opinion. I don’t have anything against these people. I just want to win the hamper. It just becomes like a competitive thing. And then you say these weird things.”

Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming net sequence Showtime can be launched on Disney+ Hotstar on March 8.
