Actor Eijaz Khan, who is busy promoting his forthcoming film "Shorgul" with co-actors Jimmy Sheirgill and Hiten Tejwani, says that he sees his future in web series.

A lot of big screen actors are exploring small screen and delivering content driven TV shows and Eijaz, who has tasted success in both the mediums, believes that the trend is becoming even better with the "advent of web series".

Eijaz has worked in film projects like "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", "Zila Ghaziabad" and TV shows like "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and "Diya Aur Baati Hum".

"The trend is going to be even better now with the advent of web series. You will see a lot of film actors in web series. There is more good work for actors and filmmakers. I also see my future there more than television," Eijaz told IANS.

The "Laut Aao Trisha" actor is planning to produce two web series and might even act in projects.

"I am on the verge of producing two web series. We have ideas and they will do it. There are people who are interested in making content for the medium. I might act in them as well," he said.

Actors like Ali Fazal, Kalki Koechlin, Gulshan Grover and Alok Nath have already made it to their individual web series in the past addressing different social issues.
