Actor-filmmaker Nikhil Dwivedi is set to revive his much-anticipated project Naagin, which was previously announced but put on hold. In a recent interview, Dwivedi confirmed that Shraddha Kapoor, his first choice for the lead role, will play the titular character. “From the start, it was decided that Shraddha Kapoor would play Naagin, and we’re thrilled to have her on board,” he shared.
Dwivedi also provided an update on the progress of the film, revealing, “The script is finally ready. It took us three years to complete it, and we rewrote it three times. Now, it’s ready for production.”
He further emphasized that the film will explore a fresh concept, unrelated to previous Naagin films. “It’s a completely original subject. The idea behind the film stems from India’s rich folklore,” he said. “While we’re fascinated by stories of a man becoming Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider, a woman turning into a snake is often looked down upon. But we’re changing that perspective, and you’ll see something truly supernatural and unique.”
In addition to Naagin, Shraddha Kapoor is rumored to reunite with her Tu Jhoothi, Main Makkar co-star Ranbir Kapoor in Dhoom 4, though the makers have not yet confirmed this development.
