Eijaz Khan calls the cancellation of Adrishyam 2 midway a ‘shocker', admits going through a ‘lull' in his career
'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.'
