Shraddha Kapoor’s much-awaited fantasy thriller Naagin has once again grabbed attention after the makers confirmed that the film is still in progress. The project, which was announced around six years ago with a grand vision, had been surrounded by rumours of being delayed or cancelled. However, producer Nikhil Dwivedi has now revealed that the movie is moving ahead and is close to entering the production phase.
After Years Of Delay, Shraddha Kapoor’s Naagin Finally Gets An Update
In Bollywood, many films create excitement at the time of announcement but later face unexpected delays due to various reasons. Shraddha Kapoor’s Naagin also became one such project as fans waited for updates regarding its shooting and release.
The film was announced with Shraddha Kapoor as the lead actress, and the project instantly created curiosity among audiences. However, the absence of major updates led to speculation that the movie might have been put on hold permanently.
Putting an end to these rumours, the makers have confirmed that Naagin has not been abandoned and the team is working towards starting the film soon.
Shraddha Kapoor To Play An Ichhadhari Naagin In The Film
The biggest attraction of Naagin is Shraddha Kapoor’s unique role as an ichhadhari naagin. The actress is expected to portray a powerful supernatural character, bringing a new cinematic experience to the audience.
While the shooting of the film is yet to begin, expectations around the project remain high because of its different storyline and fantasy elements. The makers are reportedly focused on creating a visually impressive film that stands apart from traditional supernatural stories.
It’s an absolute delight for me to play a Naagin on screen. I have grown up watching, admiring and idolising Sridevi ma'am's Nagina and Nigahen and have always wanted to play a similar role rooted in Indian traditional folklore.✨💜@Nikhil_Dwivedi @FuriaVishal @saffronbrdmedia

Producer Nikhil Dwivedi shared that he is aware of the long wait surrounding the movie. He mentioned that he has previously spoken about making the film, but now the project has reached a stage where production is expected to begin soon.
He also revealed that the script of Naagin has already been completed. The team is now preparing for the next phase, and the shooting process is likely to start in the near future.
Naagin Will Be Different From Kartik Aaryan’s Nagzilla
With another snake-themed film Nagzilla featuring Kartik Aaryan also making headlines, comparisons between the two projects have started. However, Nikhil Dwivedi clarified that Shraddha Kapoor’s Naagin will have a completely different storyline and treatment.
According to the makers, both films will explore the world of snakes in their own unique ways and should not be considered similar projects.
Shraddha Kapoor’s Next Big Screen Appearance Before Naagin
After the massive success of the horror-comedy Stree 2, Shraddha Kapoor has been away from theatres. Before stepping into the world of Naagin, the actress will reportedly appear in Eetha, where she will play the character of Maharashtra’s famous folk artist Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar.
With the latest update from the makers, excitement around Naagin has once again increased. Fans are now eagerly waiting for the official announcement regarding the film’s shooting schedule and release date.
