Ekaki (Ashish Chanchlani’s Series)

Premise / Plot:
• Ekaki is a horror-comedy web series. 
• Created, written, directed, and starring Ashish Chanchlani, under his production house ACV Studios. 
• The story (as per the trailer) involves a group of friends going to an abandoned bungalow (“Ekaki Villa”) for a fun weekend. 
• Their trip takes a spooky turn — there’s a paranormal force in the house, ghostly hands, and eerie presences. 
• The tone is “a comedy of horrors” — combining scares with humor. 
• The tagline/idea: “even if you’re alone in Ekaki, you’re never really alone.” 

Production Details:
• It’s his first long-format narrative (not just short YouTube sketches) — a big step for him. 
• Took 7 months of pre-production, 80 days of shooting, and 7 months post-production. 
• Coming out on YouTube, for free, on his own channel / via ACV Studios. 
• Cast includes long-time collaborators (Akash Dodeja) and new faces like Harshh Rane, Sidhant Sarfare, etc. 
• Release date: 27 November 2025 on YouTube. 

Tone & Genre:
• Horror + Comedy: mix of supernatural thrills and lighthearted moments. 
• More experimental and personal: Since Chanchlani is deeply involved in writing, directing, producing, acting, it feels like a passion project.
