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.'

AA22A6: Deepika Padukone as The Witcher? AI image resurfaces after casting in Atlee-Allu Arjun film
As Deepika Padukone picks up her sword and gets ready to play the role of a warrior queen, an AI-generated image of the beauty has resurfaced on social media. The picture, shared by a fan handle back in 2024, reimagined her as a fierce female Witcher. The picture was posted online with the caption, "You asked for it! Deepika is a Witcher!" This comes just hours after the official announcement of her casting as the female lead in Atlee's next big project with Allu Arjun was announced on Saturday. The viral image depicts Deepika in a leather and iron clad outfit with a breastplate, giving her the perfect warrior look.

On Saturday, the makers dropped an announcement video, showcasing director Atlee and Deepika in discussion. The video later shows the actress getting into prep mode as she picks up a sword and swings an axe while prepping for her action-packed role. When not in her armour, DP was seen in a motion-capture suit, riding a mechanical horse, suggesting epic battle scenes set to unfold in this new film. Director Atlee, in a press note, praised the actress, saying, 'Collaborating with Deepika Padukone ma'am on Jawan was incredible—her range, power, and grace shine in every frame.

Deepika Padukone joins Allu Arjun-Atlee's ‘AA22xA6' in a fierce warrior avatar
Deepika Padukone has officially boarded Atlee's upcoming sci-fi action spectacle, tentatively titled AA22xA6, which stars Allu Arjun in the lead. The announcement was made by Sun Pictures with an electrifying promo video that unveiled Deepika's character in a never-seen-before avatar, sparking major excitement among fans. This marks Deepika's first collaboration with Allu Arjun and her second with director Atlee, following their recent teaming in Jawan. The promo showcases Deepika as a formidable warrior set in a fantasy-sci-fi universe. Clad in a futuristic battle suit and wielding a sword, she's seen riding a CGI-rendered horse, with motion capture sensors suggesting heavy VFX integration. Her look hints at a physically demanding and action-heavy role, adding a new dimension to her filmography. Director Atlee is reportedly experimenting with elaborate character designs and visuals, using blue-mat set technology to craft the film's distinct aesthetic. The ambitious project is being mounted as a pan-India blockbuster, combining large-scale action with science fiction. It also marks Sun Pictures' debut collaboration with a Telugu superstar, highlighting the film's expansive vision. Deepika's casting comes on the heels of her recent exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, which had sparked speculation. While some reports cited her high remuneration demands, others linked it to her desire for lighter schedules after embracing motherhood. Regardless, her entry into AA22xA6 has shifted attention, reinforcing her star power in the pan-India space, especially following her role in Kalki 2898 AD.
