Back in 2019, Akshay Kumar has revealed that he will be making his digital debut with an action thriller series titled The End. While the show was planned for a 2021 release, there have been no updates on the same due to the pandemic. However, producer Vikram Malhotra recently revealed that the series will go on floors later this year.

Vikram's banner has already released hit shows like two seasons of Breathe starring Amit Sadh and Abhishek Bachchan. The studio has also backed Bhumi Pednekar-starrer Durgamati.
Malhotra told the media, "Creators like us look for platforms that becomes homes and understand our sensibilities and creative efforts. We found a warm home in Amazon Prime Video. Apart from Breathe, there are are other series in development like Hush Hush, which is in the middle of the production. We had to pause it because of the pandemic. There's a show called The End, featuring Akshay Kumar. It is set to start later this year or early next year, depending on how the situation is."
Hush Hush is a thriller drama, led by an all-female cast, including actors Juhi Chawla, Soha Ali Khan, Shahana Goswami, Kritika Kamra, Karishma Tanna and Ayesha Jhulka.
