Shraddha Kapoor’s Naagin set to begin filming this summer

Shraddha Kapoor, who was last seen in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Baaghi 3 (2020) alongside Tiger Shroff, has some exciting films in her hand. She will next be seen in Luv Ranjan’s untitled film which pairs her up with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time. The actress has also signed on to star in filmmaker Vishal Furia’s trilogy Naagin, produced by Nikhil Dwivedi.

The latest update on the much-awaited fantasy film suggests that the team is looking at beginning production in summer. The film, which is going to be VFX-heavy, is currently in pre-production.

“We need specific locations for Naagin, as the energy of shooting in natural locales has an effect on the actors’ performance,” said Furia.

The filmmaker also revealed that when the team narrated the concept of the film to Shraddha Kapoor, she loved it and immediately came onboard to headline the project.

“Shraddha liked the concept and came on board after just one meeting. We have had a few sittings over the script and looks. She is loving the process. We intend to have workshops for Naagin. It is an unusual character and will need a lot of prep,” added the filmmaker.

“Writing a story for a male protagonist vis-a-vis adapting it to a female actor, suddenly changes the story’s dynamics. It is interesting to cast actors like Nushrratt (Bharuccha) and Shraddha against the grain, (especially) if they are willing to go the extra mile. When an actor surrenders to the role and trusts the director completely to take the role to a different level, it is gratifying,” the filmmaker said in conclusion.
