Ekta Kapoor Had Originally Planned To Make A Film On Naagin, Even Approached Priyanka Chopra And Katrina Kaif!

It is not for no reason that Ekta Kapoor is called the Czarina of Indian Television. Ekta has brought about a change in the way we view Tv. Even the shows that people thought wouldn’t work or faced criticism by many had gotten superb TRPs with her helming them. One of the most successful shows that she has made in recent times in Naagin. Such has been its success that it has spanned for three seasons and the fourth season is currently being aired. BBut did you know that Ekta even wanted to make a film on the same subject and even approached Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif to play the leads?

Yes, you read that right. In an interview to Pinkvilla, she has revealed that she had originally planned a film on the subject. Talking to the portal, she said,

“After Dirty Picture, I decided to make Naagin as a film. I decided to take that concept to two people. I went to Katrina Kaif and she told me 'after Dirty Picture, you want to make something path breaking' and I suggested her Naagin and she just looked at me and thought I had smoked something (laughs). She told me if I was joking to make something like this in today's time. Then, I went to PeeCee; it was at the time when she was going abroad. Both of them were not sure if that will work. Then I decided to make it a TV show.”

That’s some revelation. Well, how would the film turn out to be if ever it is made? Let us know what you think in the comments.
