Eijaz quits Balaji show

Sumeet Sachdev replaces Eijaz Khan as lead in Balaji's new show Khawaish

Filmi chakkar: Eijaz Khan After Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka went off-air, Khawaish was slated as the next big serial from the Balaji camp. Now we hear that Eijaz Khan, who was to play the lead in Khawaish has walked out of the show. Sumeet Sachdev has replaced him. Nivedita Basu, creative head of Bajaji Telefilms, confirms the news. She says, "Yes, we wanted Eijaz in the show, but he has eventually opted out because he got good film offers. He is doing a film Meerabai, Not Out with Mandira Bedi; so it's obvious that he will give preference to films over serials. We have roped in Sumeet who fits into the character." A source from Balaji adds, "The lead character of Kabir Khan was written with Eijaz Khan in the mind. The entire serial is going to be shot in Dubai. The serial was delayed so that Eijaz could finish Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka and give full time to the new show. But, Eijaz has now opted out..." Sumeet Sachdev says, "Yes, I am doing Khawaish. I am playing the lead protagonist Kabir Khan. He's is from a business family and his father is a business tycoon based in Dubai." Sumeet Sachdev "This project is going to be very challenging. We have just started shooting and every day I come across new Urdu words. As the script is based in Dubai, the language is more or less dominated by Urdu. Every day is a new learning experience," adds Sumeet. Does he mind that he is a replacement for Eijaz? Sumeet says, "I know that they had approached both Eijaz and me… But I am really enjoying the show." Eijaz Khan was unavailable for comment.

They make it sound like, all he ever cares about it fame. And I heard before ..Eijaz said something about never giving up on Balaji, and sumfin bout not being able to say 'no' to Ekta. or something. But then again, I do understand that film offers are more imp that serial offers...

the guy is entitled to do what he pleases,
it is not about fame, he has that already,
if i was him i would also be cautious off doin
another serial, i mean, Ekta either kills him,
or makes a total mess off his shows like she did
khnk and it is poor Eijaz that has to take the
criticism.

Eijaz, stick to what ur heart desires 😃

woah!! well said...i tottally agree with u
