His five-part horror-sci-fi series Ekaki, which he wrote, directed, produced and starred in, has amassed roughly 145 million views on YouTube. He says he has recovered about 50% of the show's budget from YouTube revenue.
Announced at Prime Video Presents, the film pairs him with TVF for a zombie-apocalypse-meets-college-drama set in a Gen-Z campus fest.
The finale, titled 'The Conqueror,' premiered on his ACV Studios channel on Feb 25, 2026. Release had been pushed back after a hard-drive crash wiped out roughly 20% of the chapter's VFX footage.
The horror-comedy, set in a haunted bungalow called Ekaki Villa, was written, directed and produced by Chanchlani, with the trailer dropping Oct 27, 2025 and the series streaming free on his channel from late November.
Multiple FIRs were filed against Chanchlani and co-panelists following Allahbadia's controversial remark on the show. Chanchlani later said he was the first panelist questioned by police and described the aftermath as 'two months of turmoil.'

Ashish Chanchlani is one of India's longest-running YouTube comedy creators, best known for the sketch series Ashish Chanchlani Vines that built his audience through exaggerated, family-and-friend-group comedy delivered in Hindi with heavy Bollywood inflection. Based in Maharashtra and trained originally in film direction, he turned a hobbyist vines channel into a multi-platform presence that now spans more than 20 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, and a long-dormant TikTok account. His sketches lean on physical comedy, hyperbolic relationship and household scenarios, and a recurring ensemble cast including frequent collaborator Kunal Chhabhria. More recently, he has expanded into longer-form scripted work, with the Prime Video series Ekaki marking a notable step from short-form viral comedy into streaming-platform storytelling.
Chanchlani is a comedy-first creator whose Hindi-English sketch content, slice-of-life family humor, and festival-themed posts (Holi, Diwali, Mother's Day) make him a natural fit for mass-market consumer categories: OTT/streaming, FMCG, snacks and beverages, telecom, mobile handsets, fashion e-commerce, and tentpole festival campaigns. Audience is India-dominant with a meaningful diaspora tail in the US, UK and Canada, skews female and sits squarely in the 18–34 spending bracket — useful for brands wanting reach plus purchase intent. Engagement runs well above category median despite a mega-tier base, signaling durable fandom rather than passive scale. Track record already includes Prime Video integrations around 'Ekaki' and 'College Fest,' and his slate trends toward studio tie-ins, streaming launches, and large-format brand films.
