Shraddha Kapoor’s much-awaited project, Naagin, is finally back on track after being in limbo for quite some time. Producer Nikhil Dwivedi has shared that the script is now officially ready after multiple revisions.
The film, which aims to bring the iconic Indian folklore character of Naagin to the big screen, has undergone extensive changes to perfect its narrative.
Naagin Script Is Ready With A Brand-New Subject
In a recent interview with India Today, Nikhil Dwivedi opened up about the long journey to get the script just right. “Finally, the script is ready now. It has taken us three years to script it. We have redone the entire script three times, and now I can say that it’s finally ready,” he revealed.
The focus was on creating a story that would not only honour the traditional lore but also bring a fresh perspective to the concept of Naagin.
The producer explained why he chose to dive into this unique subject matter. He said, “Firstly, it’s a completely brand-new subject. It has no connection with previous films. The reason for me making this film is that Indian folklore is very rich in ideas. We get very excited when a spider bites a man, and he becomes Spider-Man. But we kind of look down upon a woman turning into a snake. Give us a chance, and we’ll turn it on its head, and you will see quite a supernatural and different film.”
Dwivedi’s vision for Naagin is ambitious, aiming to reshape how audiences perceive this legendary character. He wants to present it as more than just another supernatural story, turning it into something unique that Indian cinema hasn’t seen before.
Shraadha Kapoor Was Always The 1st Choice For The Role
When it comes to casting, Dwivedi was clear from the start—Shraddha Kapoor was always his first choice. He shared, “It was decided from the beginning that only Shraddha Kapoor would play Naagin. We’re thrilled that she’s on board. She has an ethereal quality about her.”
As for Shraddha’s reaction to the project, it was instant enthusiasm. Dwivedi mentioned, “She jumped at it. She was the first one to come on board. I approached her first with the idea, and she was sold. She can’t wait to start the shoot, now that the script is ready.”
With the script now locked in, the team is eager to get the project rolling. The plan is to begin filming sometime next year, once all the logistics are finalised.
Naagin film was announced some time ago but faced delays and was put on hold. Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor recently enjoyed huge success with Stree 2, which broke multiple records and strengthened her position in the industry.
