Keen to reinvent the genre of shape-shifting serpent movies in Bollywood, Chhorii director Vishal Furia has kickstarted the prep for Naagin. The filmmaker reveals that the Shraddha Kapoor-starrer — a trilogy — will be VFX heavy; and is currently in pre-production. The team plans to recce multiple locations in India. “We need specific locations for Naagin, as the energy of [shooting] in natural locales has an effect on the actors’ performance,” says the director, who hopes to start shooting this summer once Kapoor fulfils her earlier commitments.
Furia, who just wrapped up the Vikrant Massey-starrer Forensic, says that it didn’t take long to convince Kapoor to come aboard the project. “Shraddha liked the concept and came on board after just one meeting. We have had a few sittings over the script and looks. She is loving the process. We intend to have workshops for Naagin. It is an unusual character and will need a lot of prep.”
