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.'

Warangal speech lacked punch: Kavitha tells KCR
Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha strongly felt that party supremo and her father Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao should have targeted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) more in his speech at the recent public meeting marking party's silver jubilee celebrations. In a six-page, handwritten letter to her father, Kavitha said that his speech at the massive public meeting on April 27 lacked requisite punch. The BRS organised the public meeting at Elkaturthy near Warangal. 'I may be feeling so because I went to jail because of the BJP. But as you spoke against the BJP for just two minutes, the cadre has started feeling that in the future, the BRS may have an alliance with the BJP. You should have targeted the BJP more, daddy,' she said in the letter which was leaked to the media on Thursday. She is currently on a US tour. She questioned why the BRS chief did not speak in Urdu and why he didn't mention about the Waqf Act as the party president when it was a burning topic of discussion in the country. She also questioned why there was no mention about the important topics like 42 per cent reservations for the BCs and categorisation of Scheduled Castes. The BRS leader pointed out that the old in-charges were given the responsibility of silver jubilee meeting, which resulted in leaders who were with the party since agitation days, not getting a chance to speak on the dais and the 'Dhoom Dhaam' programme was also not encouraging. Staying away from elections for Legislative Council seats also sent a wrong message and the Congress used it as an opportunity and went to the people saying that the BRS had a tacit understanding with the BJP, she pointed out. She suggested to the BRS president to hold a plenary for at least two days to discuss all these issues. Giving her positive feedback about the speech, the BRS MLC said that she liked the way KCR skipped the name of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. It was good on your part to oppose Operation Kagar and to say that the Congress government had failed. The warning to police personnel was also well received, she said.

Yami Gautam opens up on her Bollywood journey, says 'goals keep changing'
Bollywood actor Yami Gautam, who has been a part of the film industry for more than a decade, recently opened up about her journey and how she landed her first Bollywood film. While speaking to ANI, Yami discussed her journey and shared how "true satisfaction" is hard to achieve. "Satisfaction, I don't think you ever feel like you've achieved it. If you set a goal and when you reach it, it feels like, 'Oh, I wanted this, but now it's okay.' Maybe the goal 10 years ago was something else. Now I'm here, and now the goal is different. I might not be able to explain my goal in words because there's nothing in my mindset that says I want to make a film in this way or with these people. Whenever I read a script, my perspective is always that someone is offering me a script for the first time," she said. Speaking about the happiness she feels when people appreciate her work, the actress shared, "It has been a journey... I feel good when I see happiness on the faces of the people and they appreciate my films. I have no grudges or complaints in my mind. This is a journey that one has to travel alone, whether you are from the industry or an outsider. The final verdict lies with the audience." Yami then recalled how she got her first Bollywood film Vicky Donor. She revealed that she got the role through an audition. "Audition. Jogi ji, our casting director, had called me for an audition for another film. But for some reason, I couldn't give that audition. It didn't work out. Then he said that that film wouldn't work out, but there's another one. I asked, 'Okay, Jogi ji, what's this film about? What's the concept?' So, he had prepared a small audition with a few lines and asked me, 'Can you do this?' I said, 'Of course, I would love to do it.' There was something about Vicky Donor that excited me," she said. The 2012 release Vicky Donor, which also starred Ayushmann Khurrana, was lauded for its progressive content and for initiating conversations about issues that were previously treated as 'taboo'. Yami was recently seen in Dhoom Dhaam, which released on Valentine's Day. The film is produced by her husband, Aditya Dhar, along with Lokesh Dhar and Jyoti Deshpande.
