Mumbai: Aashish Chanchlani’s web series Ekaki has taken audiences by surprise with a bold narrative shift that few saw coming. What started off as a spooky horror story with its disturbing scenes and a touch of the paranormal world has now revealed its true identity. The series is not about ghosts at all. Instead, it has emerged as a sci fi thriller rooted in extraterrestrial elements.
The first episode of Ekaki managed to establish the mood of a typical horror story. Those who watched were plunged into a dark ambiance characterized by mysterious events and fear fueled narration. But the second episode changed the course of the show altogether. The alleged supernatural powers turned out to be alien, turning the genre upside down and redefining the essence of the story. This twist has generated extensive online debate with some applauding the makers of the creative risk.

They also left a clue of the next episode in the series with the poster, silvering that Chapter 3 will release on December 21 at 2:04, suggesting that the next one will be bigger and more explosive.
Aashish Chanchlani, a well-known personality in terms of comedy sketches and online content, has attracted attention to enter a more sophisticated and experimental realm with Ekaki. Aashish Chanchlani’s contribution to the series has been regarded as a stark break to his usual style. Both his performance and creative involvement highlight a willingness to explore darker themes and more complex storytelling, earning appreciation from viewers who did not expect this shift.
The series is supported by a strong creative team that often works with Aashish Chanchlani. Ekaki has Akash Dodeja as the parallel lead and Kunal Chhabhria as co producer. Jashan Sirwani has joined in as the executive producer and Tanish Sirwani as the creative director. Grishim Nawanii is a co writer of the screenplay, and Ritesh Sadhwani is the line producer.

With the horror curtain pulled away to show a sci fi core, Ekaki establishes itself as one of the more ambitious digital experiments by the creator, with twists that extend way beyond what was first assumed.
