Vikram Bhatt:

A writer turned director; Vikram Bhatt always knew that he wanted to be a filmmaker. He made this belief a reality with his directorial debut Jaanam. A disaster at the box office, Jaanam made Vikram hungrier to prove that he was a proficient director and storyteller, which he ably did with the super-hit film Ghulam. Whether a success at the box office or not, Vikram's films have always been entertainers for the mass audiences and Vikram clearly makes films with the single objective -- entertainment. His other movies include Kasoor, Raaz, Awara Paagal Deewana, and Footpath among others.

Written & presented by Vikram Bhatt Shurat, Nafrat aur Showbiz A gripping story of an innocent girl’s journey to superstardom.

Shurat, Nafrat aur Showbiz is the story of young Sara. Sara catches the fancy of superstar Dev, when he visits her scenic town for shooting. Dev makes tall claims of making Sara a name to reckon with in the glamour world and Sara, completely unaware of the ways of the world falls prey to these false claims. Once Dev returns to Mumbai, Sara follows suit. But Sara’s world comes crashing down when Dev refuses to recognize her. Shattered and heart broken, Sara attempts suicide, but is saved just in time by a doctor. Sara is saved, but her spirit takes a different identity. From here, the new Sara treads her successful journey from a supermodel to a page 3 regular and finally scaling the heights of power, never witnessed by anyone else before. Sara reaches the pinnacle of success yet she yearns for her lost innocence.
