Gaurav Banerjee was asked about what one can expect from Disney+ Hotstar this year, especially after the success of shows like Taaza Khabar and The Night Manager. Gaurav replied, “We are really excited about the year we have had so far. It started with a very different show, Taaza Khabar, featuring Bhuvan Bam. Then we had The Night Manager. We had to think hard about how we take a political thriller set in Western Europe with the backdrop of the war in Afghanistan and how do you adapt that to India. It was an interesting, big challenge.”
Gaurav Banerjee continued, “We have got a lot that’s coming up that is incredibly exciting. Firstly, there’s the conclusion of The Night Manager. Then Kajol’s bestie Karan Johar is going to come back with a new season of Koffee With Karan. He’ll be shooting for it soon. He’s making another interesting show for us, Showtime, which is about nepotism in Bollywood. He knows something about it, I guess (laughs)!”
Gaurav also added, “Suparn is also doing another series which should be out (this year). We have got a series with Neeraj Pandey which we will be announcing soon. Finally, we have new seasons of Criminal Justice, Aarya and Special Ops. So yes, it’s an exciting slate.”
The announcement of Showtime took place last year in September. At that time, Karan Johar had mentioned in the official press release that the show will “lift the curtain on India entertainment’s industry’s biggest trade secrets”.
