Why Shraddha Kapoor was cast as Naagin

By Sumit Blogs -

Director Vishal Furia believes in multi-tasking. The filmmaker has been on the roll. He completed work on Chhori, led by Nushratt Bharuchha, much before the lockdown was imposed owing to the second wave of the pandemic. And now, he’s expected to start shooting the remake of the Malayalam psychological thriller, Forensic, with Radhika Apte and Vikrant Massey. In a month, the film is expected to roll out in Uttarakhand. Post that, the filmmaker will head straight into Nikhil Dwivedi’s Naagin, with Shraddha Kapoor as the protagonist.
“We have a timeline for Naagin but in the current scenario, everything is shifting. We plan to start early next year but it all depends on how everything else is placed around that time,” says Vishal. Interestingly, this is the second time Shraddha has given the nod to a project that has a Sridevi connection (she’s also leading the cast of Chaalbaaz in London by Pankaj Parashar). The late superstar had played the central character in Naagin and Nagina decades ago.
When asked how he plans to revisit the subject, given that it has also had a TV incarnation, which rated very well, Vishal says, “It’s an interesting space. This idea of a naagin has been with us for a while but I would like to believe that it has not been justified enough. Nikhil Dwivedi has a vision for this project. He wants to make it different from all the versions of the past; he has plans for a completely new world for the character. It requires heavy VFX and our approach is different from whatever has been presented so far. If everything goes well, this film will take up most of my time in 2022. I am excitedly looking forward to this.”
Talking about casting Shraddha as Naagin, Vishal adds, “It’s too early to reveal how we will play things out. Shraddha looks vulnerable, delicate and beautiful. Ironically, that’s the reason we chose her to play Naagin. And she believed in our vision and came on board. We are working on the project with an estimated timeline in place. Hopefully, by the time the film is ready, theatres will be back in action because this spectacle will be worth the ticket.”

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
