On February 12th, the sixth season of Naagin will debut. While fans wait for the programme to premiere, it has already been revealed that the upcoming season will have a pandemic twist. So far, the teasers have shown how the Naagin 6 would defend the Earth from the evil plans of a neighbouring country. On the other hand, Ekta Kapoor has stated that she is willing to be mocked for it.
Ekta revealed that the idea of a pandemic came from one of her friends and that the program’s main purpose is to depict what people have gone through in the previous several years. “When my friend narrated me this concept and she told me you should do this and corona is not just about the disease, it is a mind-changing thing, she told me I am no longer dealing with relatable topics in the country. I actually knew at that point ke mujhe gaaliyaan padne waali hai because agar yehi kaam koi really celebrated maker karta (I knew that I am going to get abused because no celebrated producer does this), things would have been different. Naagin is out an out mass, commercial pulp show and there will be criticism and I am fine with it because I am not calling it corona. I want to show what people went through in the last 2 years,” Ekta said at the press conference on Tuesday.
Ekta Kapoor also stated that she is prepared to deal with haters. “I knew very well and I was sure that I will get trolled. I was ready for it. In the west, if you see they make shows out of real incidents and they work well. Like Titanic came out of a real incident. The pandemic is something that the US-based OTT channel will do it. We are witnessing history and we all have changed in the last two years and Naagin also had to change,” she added.
Meanwhile, Tejasswi Prakash, the winner of Bigg Boss 15, and Mahek Chahal would play icchadhari-naagin in Naagin 6. Tejasswi’s Bigg Boss co-contestant Simba Nagpal will portray the male protagonist in the show. Urvashi Dholakia will make her return to television in Naagin 6.
