Eijaz Khan calls the cancellation of Adrishyam 2 midway a ‘shocker', admits going through a ‘lull' in his career
Actor Eijaz Khan, who was thrilled to be back with his web series Adrishyam 2 which released last month, was disappointed when the show was halted after only six episodes. Speaking to us, the actor mentions, how the viewers had expected a richer offering—more episodes, but felt disappointed with the sudden change.
'No one was expecting the show to be cut short in the middle. It was a shocker for the cast too. The discussions are still ongoing with the producers and channel, and there's a possibility that the show might be revived. If that happens, I think everyone will be happy,' he says, lamenting the uncertainty of the show's future.
Despite the inconsistency in his projects, Eijaz feels fortunate, as while many struggled for work post-COVID, he had back-to-back opportunities. The actor was seen in Jawan (2023), Adrishyam, City of Dreams Season 3 and Dhoom Dhaam, which released earlier this year.
However, he acknowledges that he is currently experiencing a lull in his career. 'I am just an actor who is trying to act,' says Eijaz, adding, 'I was supposed to start shooting for City of Dreams Season 4, but it's been postponed. And in my 20 years in this business, 99.9% of postponed projects never come back. That's just how it is.'

Not Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Allu Arjun, Yash, THIS is the only Indian actor to give two Rs 1000 crore Pan-India films, name is...
Even a superstar like Salman Khan couldn't save Sikandar from mixed reviews. Yet, fans still filled seats, proving that name value and charisma still drive success, just like Prabhas, who didn't rely on hits alone but carved his path with sheer pan-India appeal. How did Prabhas surpass even the biggest names? Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan both crossed Rs 1,000 crore globally—but they remained primarily Hindi films with dubbed versions, not full pan-India productions. Similarly, Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 entered the club but stood alone among his works, and Vicky Kaushal fell short despite his star presence. Prabhas, however, achieved it not once, but twice—with films shot, dubbed, and marketed across multiple languages—earning him the title of true pan-India superstar. What made his first Rs 1,000 crore blockbuster, Baahubali 2, legendary? In 2017, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion shattered records, earning Rs 1,788 Cr globally and Rs 1,030 Cr domestically. Prabhas' portrayal of father-son royalty, combined with epic visuals and timeless drama, elevated regional cinema's reach into a nationwide phenomenon. Then Kalki 2898 AD arrived Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD brought a futuristic vision rooted in the Mahabharata mythos. Co-starring Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan, it crossed the Rs 1,000 Cr worldwide mark again, grossing Rs 1,042 Cr globally and Rs 646 Cr in India. A year on, a sequel is already green-lit, confirming Prabhas' cinematic universe ambitions. What's next? The actor is now all set for his upcoming projects, The Raaja Saab – a triple-role, romantic-horror-comedy by Maruthi with co-stars Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan & Sanjay Dutt. Fauji – directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, promising gritty intensity. Spirit – a Sandeep Reddy Vanga mytho-horror that saw Triptii Dimri replace Deepika. Brahmarakshas – with Prasanth Varma, building more high-concept mysticism. Is Prabhas India's first true pan‑India star? By delivering two Rs 1,000 crore multilingual films, Prabhas hasn't just stood among the greats—he redefines what it means to be a pan‑India star. His journey continues, building universes of myth, magic, and mega-returns.
