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.

This is an honest opinion...I think it was a wrong and quite a rude step for Eijaz to just quit the show like this ...it's obvious how much they were counting on him.

But it's his choice....Thankoo 😃

Thnx 4 the article
Apparently..hw couldn't do this show..coz it clashed with the dates of his film 😳 😕

thanx
i was soo hoping to see him back on screen but oh well then i will have to watch his movies now if not tv then dvd 😆

well im bummed that hes not doing the show because i dont get my daily dose of eijaz onscreen......so i just watch old episodes of kavyanjali and kya hoga nimmo ka.....i really hope this film helps him get noticed and i hope it becomes his best performance yet......im not too fond of sumeet and i dont think he would fit into the young, business tycoon image.....eijazs style wouldve matched perfectly with the character........but oh well..........all the best to eijaz and hope he does a show soon.........naina

😭 😭 😭Eijaz,I'm sad at this unfortunate decision....but I wish you the best in your acting career 😭 😭
