Ashish Chanchlani, India's digital sensation, is back, and this time, he's going to make you laugh and scream at the same time.

The popular content creator has just dropped the trailer for his most ambitious project yet, EKAKI, a horror-comedy series that marks his directorial debut and promises to change the face of Indian digital entertainment.

Set to release for free on YouTube on 27 November, EKAKI blends chills with chuckles in what is being hailed as one of India’s first large-scale ventures into the horror-comedy web series genre.

With his humorous and sympathetic sketches, Ashish has long dominated YouTube. Now, he takes on a completely new position as a writer, director, producer, and lead actor.

The digital icon, who is well-known for his contagious enthusiasm and spot-on comedic timing, has broadened his artistic horizons, and his admirers are more thrilled than ever to witness this new side of him.

The EKAKI trailer was finally released after weeks of teasers and conjecture, and it is all fans could have imagined: spooky but amusing, tense but full of comedy. It gives a sneak peek of eerie passageways, oddball characters, and the ideal mix of fun and terror that only Ashish could achieve.

Alongside Ashish, the series features some of the biggest digital talents, including Harsh Rane, Sidhant Sarfare, Rohit Sadhwani, Grishim Nawani, Shashank Shekhar, and Akash Dodeja. Together, they form a dream team that’s ready to take audiences on a spooky, laughter-filled ride.
