After an impressive 11-year run on television, Ektaa Kapoor is reportedly considering a big-screen adaptation of her popular supernatural fantasy series, "Naagin". The "Naagin" franchise, produced under Balaji Telefilms, has been a consistent ratings success, captivating audiences with its tales of shape-shifting serpents and revenge.
The television series "Naagin" first premiered on November 1, 2015, and has aired seven seasons. The show has featured a revolving cast of popular television actors, including Mouni Roy, Arjun Bijlani, Adaa Khan, Surbhi Jyoti, Pearl V Puri, Anita Hassanandani, and Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary. The seventh season, which premiered on December 27, 2025, stars Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary as the main Naagin, Ananta, with cameos by Tejasswi Prakash, Namik Paul, and Eisha Singh. Currently, the storyline of "Naagin 7" is expected to shift to Himachal Pradesh.
Kapoor's interest in adapting "Naagin" for the big screen isn't entirely new. Back in 2012, her production house, Balaji Motion Pictures, acquired the remake rights to Rajkumar Kohli's multi-starrer film "Nagin". At the time, Kapoor tweeted, "Naagin reboot-nothing more venomous than a woman in love's revenge!". However, the project never materialized, and now it seems Kapoor is keen on reimagining her own television creation for a cinematic experience.
The potential film adaptation is generating considerable buzz among fans of the "Naagin" series. The show's blend of supernatural elements, drama, and revenge plots has resonated well with audiences, making it a prime candidate for a movie adaptation. With advancements in visual effects and CGI, a "Naagin" film could potentially offer a grander and more visually stunning experience than what is possible on television.
The success of other supernatural-themed films in recent years may also be fueling Kapoor's interest. A big-screen "Naagin" adaptation could tap into a similar audience, provided it offers a compelling story and impressive special effects.
While there are no confirmed details regarding the cast, director, or release date of the potential "Naagin" film, the news of its possible development has already created excitement among fans. It remains to be seen whether Kapoor will opt for a completely new storyline or adapt one of the existing seasons for the film. Regardless, a "Naagin" movie promises to be a significant event for fans of the franchise and Indian cinema alike.
