The film shows him being catapulted to stardom by the media and then his sudden downfall.

"The film shows how media can make or break a person and how a person's life can only become money game for the media, " said actress Mrinalini Sharma, who plays the role of a television channel head.

"Sometimes due to pressure, media is forced to create news without being sensitive. Showbiz shows what effect such actions can have over a person."

Shooting for Showbiz is almost over, Sharma said. The film is scheduled to be released by the end of 2007.
