Producer Ekta Kapoor has confirmed that her popular supernatural television series Naagin will be adapted into a feature film. The announcement was made on the occasion of Nag Panchami and Shravan Somvar through an Instagram video that showed different actors who played the shape-shifting serpent over the years. Times Now News reports the video teases that after ruling television for 11 years, Balaji Telefilms is now ready to take the franchise beyond TV. Hindustan Times notes that no details about the film's cast, director, or release date have been revealed yet. The franchise began in 2015 with Mouni Roy as the lead and has had multiple seasons featuring different actresses including Surbhi Jyoti, Nia Sharma, Surbhi Chandna, Tejasswi Prakash, and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary. Season seven ended on June 14, 2026. Separately, Hindustan Times adds that a different Naagin film starring Shraddha Kapoor was announced in 2020, to be directed by Saket Chaudhary and produced by Nikhil Dwivedi, but no update has been given on that project. It remains unclear if Ekta Kapoor is involved with that film.
