Shraddha Kapoor seems to be really inclined towards all the roles that are connected to Sridevi. After ‘Chaalbaaz in London’ the actress is expected to make an appearance in ‘Naagin’. Both the films had late Superstar Sridevi as their female 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,” said Vishal Fukari the director of the film claims Times of India. Vishal has also been shooting for multiple movies at the same time. He completed work on Chhori, led by Nushratt Bharuchha and is set to release it. Other than that he has Malayalam remake, Forensic, with Radhika Apte and Vikrant Massey.
Vishal Fukari plans to revisit Naagin as the TV show Naagin was a hit and was loved by most of the people. Vishal on this note 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.”
When asked on Shraddha playing the late actress Sridevi, Vishal said, “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.” this clearly means that the director doesn’t want to spill the beans on this exciting news and wants to create a hype.
