Ekta Kapoor's "Naagin" franchise is set to return with its seventh season, and the latest promo teases a dramatic clash between a serpent and a dragon. The promo, shared on social media by Colors TV with the caption, "What will happen when fire and poison collide?", has ignited excitement and speculation among fans.

The promo unveils a fiery lab-like setting where two mysterious figures enter, heightening the tension with erupting flames. The clip culminates in the reveal of a red-eyed, clawed creature, hinting at the formidable dragon antagonist. This marks a departure from previous seasons where the Naagin confronted supernatural entities like witches and vengeful spirits. The introduction of a fire-breathing dragon promises intense challenges for the Naagin, raising the stakes. The narrative focuses on a confrontation at the Kumbh, described as the meeting point of devotion and faith.

While the identity of the new Naagin remains undisclosed, rumors suggest that Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, known for her roles in "Udaariyaan" and "Bigg Boss 16," may step into the lead role. Other names like Vishal Pandey and Avinash Mishra are also being considered for the cast, though nothing has been confirmed. Actors Eisha Singh and Namik Paul are also reportedly set to play pivotal roles in the new season.

The promo has garnered mixed reactions, with some viewers expressing skepticism about the show's direction and visual style. Some comments questioned the introduction of a dragon as the antagonist. Despite the divided opinions, Ekta Kapoor shared the promo on her social media channels, further amplifying the anticipation.

"Naagin" has been a successful franchise, known for its storylines and suspenseful drama. With the introduction of a dragon antagonist, season 7 aims to elevate the fantasy, thrills, and supernatural drama.
