New Delhi: Fans have not been able to control their excitement ever since Ekta Kapoor revealed that Nia Sharma will play the lead role in ‘Naagin 4’. After all, ‘Naagin’ series is one of the most successful franchises on Indian television. The series has enjoyed massive viewership in all the three seasons it aired on Colors channel. ‘Naagin 3’, which featured Surbhi Jyoti, Pearl V Puri and Anita Hassanandani, went off air on May 26 earlier this year.


Earlier in the day, Colors TV shared a teaser of ‘Naagin 4’, which revealed that the show will be launched in December 2019. Interestingly, the supernatural saga has been titled ‘Naagin- Bhagya Ke Zehreela Khel’. The caption for the post read, ''Hoga shuru bhagya ka zehreela khel, iss December. #Naagin4.''


‘Who will play the male lead opposite Nia Sharma in Naagin 4?,’- is the question on everybody’s mind. Speculations were earlier rife that ‘Kundali Bhagya’ actor Manit Joura will be roped in as the male protagonist.

However, a new report in an entertainment portal has suggested that the makers are yet to finalize the male lead and the team is facing problems in casting the actors. Calls have been made to popular TV actors and one of them might get finalized soon.

Shashank Vyas, Rohit Purohit, Abhinav Shukla, Mrunal Jain, Eija Khan have been approached to play the male lead in ‘Naagin 4’, the report in SpotboyE said.

Shashank Vyas was last seen playing the lead role in Colors TV's 'Roop-Mard Ka Naya Swaroop'.


'Uttaran' fame Mrunal Jain has been missing from the TV screens for quite some time now. His last stint with fiction space was in 'Dil Hi Toh Hai'.


Abhinav Shukla, who is happily married to Rubina Dilaik, was last seen in 'Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka'.


Rohit Purohit, who tied the knot with Sheena Bajaj earlier this year, last played a pivotal role in 'Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji'.


Popular TV hunk Eijaz Khan was last seen in 'Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaagey'. The show went off air two years back. Since then, the actor has featured in web series like 'Halala', 'Mayanagari-City of Dreams' and 'Bhram'.


Talking about 'Naagin 4', 'Kumkum Bhagya' actress Supriya Shukla and TV's original 'Naagin' Sayantani Ghosh will be part of the show.  Ankita Lokhande and Jasmin Bhasin are in contention to play the second naagin in the revenge saga.
