What does the Showtime trailer show?

The trailer unveiled the glitz of Bollywood, sprawling studios, dazzling stars, and powerful back-end executives. But beneath the glamorous world, darkness is hidden.

His words drip with both resentment and determination, hinting at a man burdened by privilege and driven by ambition. This is not just a glimpse into Bollywood, it's a peek into a world where ambition, resentment, and privilege collide.
