There has been so much buzz around everything that Shraddha Kapoor is involved in, and the demand is clearly very high. The actor, with a massive fan following, has been making some very interesting choices on the film front, and we recently saw her return to the screens as her mysterious character in Stree 2, which brought in a monstrous box office, reclaiming her star power alongside an ensemble in that movie. But in the past few years, that is not the only fantasy drama she has been attached to. Right when she was freshly out of the Stree frenzy, she was soon surrounded by another as it was announced she would be playing a shape-shifting Nagin in a movie titled Nagin in 2020.

The movie was said to be backed by Nikhil Dwivedi and directed by Vishal Furia, and even the actor voiced her excitement about the project. But that was the last time we heard about the movie from the team, and nothing came out about the same. Turns out, what felt like a shelved project has now been revived after five years and is back on track with a script in place, as confirmed by Dwivedi, who took to his Instagram handle and shared the update. Read on to know everything you should about the same. 

Nikhil Dwivedi on Instagram shared a story that had a script kept right at the worship place and was being blessed.

There is no clarity on whether they go on floors soon and what the cast of Nagin is now. But considering Shraddha Kapoor is still on board to play a shape-shifting Nagin, there is a chance that the film will go on floors soon. There are no details on the plot, but it is said that the movie finds its roots in folklore.

In 2020, while sharing the update on her social media front, Shraddha Kapoor on X (then called Twitter) wrote, “It's an absolute delight for me to play a Nagin on screen. I grew up watching, admiring, and idolizing Sridevi ma'am's Nagina and Nigahen, and I have always wanted to play a similar role rooted in Indian traditional folklore.”
