Ashish Chanchlani's digital empire has grown exponentially with his sci-fi series Ekaki, which has garnered a massive response from audiences. In a candid conversation, Ashish spoke about the show's budget, which he revealed is equal to the cult horror film Tumbbad, made for around ₹15 crore. He also shared his experience of working with a professional action team, who have also worked on the upcoming mythological epic Ramayana.
Ashish admitted that the success of Ekaki came as a pleasant surprise, especially considering the challenges of creating long-form content online. He attributed the show's success to staying honest to the audience and taking creative risks. With Ekaki, Ashish has only just begun exploring the possibilities of long-form storytelling on digital platforms, and if the response to the series is any indication, his gamble on ambition, scale, and originality may have paid off.
