Music producer Daria Kuznetsova described collaboration with Milos Bikovich on the series Give a Show as demanding, noting that the project peels back the glamorous veneer to reveal the other side of Russian show business. The remarks reflect the intensity of the production as it navigates the pressures and passions that drive contemporary fame in the industry.

In the show, Bikovich portrays the singer Kirill Artemyev, a character whose arc centers on the intense realities of performing at the top level. Kuznetsova’s assessment emphasizes the additional layer of complexity the actor faced, with vocal development and performance craft requiring focused work from the outset.

The producer explained that the experience was both intriguing and challenging because Bikovich entered the role without prior singing experience. The reality of portraying a pop singer who must master vocal production presented a steep learning curve, demanding substantial coaching and creative experimentation to capture the character’s tension and aspirations.

Kuznetsova recalled that humor played a crucial part in easing the production’s sonic challenges. She shared anecdotes about messages the actor sent, including memes about goats and peacocks, joking that even animals sing more readily than he did at first. Those light moments helped balance the demanding vocal demands and kept the process grounded in a collaborative, human atmosphere.

The series Give a Show is slated to premiere on November 1, and it follows the life of the renowned pop singer Artemyev as he becomes entangled in a serious accusation linked to a scandal involving the former partner of a controversial talk show host. The ensemble cast includes Victoria Tolstoganova, Igor Vernik, Kristina Babushkina, Anastasia Krasovskaya and a range of talented supporting actors who bring the story to life with depth and perspective.

Earlier entertainment coverage noted the Russian release schedule for Coppola’s Megalopolis, a development that sits alongside the broader wave of high-profile projects shaping the country’s contemporary television and film landscape.
