Ashish Chanchlani on his web series debut: “Ekaki turned out to be a grueling journey of creativity and passion”
Ashish Chanchlani, one of India’s most loved digital stars, has taken a major creative leap with his web series debut, Ekaki. Known for his sharp comic timing, relatable storytelling, and viral sketches, Ashish has built a loyal fan base of millions over the years. With Ekaki, he pushes his creative boundaries further, stepping into the ambitious genre of horror-comedy.
Blending suspense, scares, and humor, Ekaki is a genre that perfectly aligns with Ashish’s natural flair for tension and comic timing. Balancing fear with laughter is no small task, but Ashish embraced the challenge, determined to bring a fresh experience to his audience.
Reflecting on the making of the series, Ashish said, “This was completely different from anything I’ve done before. When we started, I honestly didn’t realize what I was getting into. It turned out to be a tough, grueling journey that spanned around seven months of pre-production, 80 days of shooting, and another seven months of post-production. But I genuinely enjoyed every part of it. I’m not sure if I’d take on something like this again, but I feel vindicated after putting in so much effort. I just hope the audience enjoys watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Taking on multiple roles as writer, director, producer, and actor, Ashish made Ekaki his most personal and ambitious project to date. The recently unveiled poster, with its chilling undertones and subtle humor, has already sparked curiosity among fans.
Set to premiere exclusively on ACV Studios’ YouTube channel later this year, Ekaki promises an immersive and entertaining viewing experience. For Ashish, it’s more than just a web series—it’s the result of months of hard work, creative risk-taking, and his unwavering passion for storytelling.
