The latest chatter is that Priyanka Chahar Choudhary has been roped in as the new Naagin for the upcoming season. Along with this development, recent reports suggest that actor Namik Paul is also being discussed as a strong contender to play the male lead opposite her.

The actor received praise for his performance and got emotional when the show wrapped up after more than a decade.

If Namik does come on board, Naagin 7 will mark the first time he and Priyanka share the frame, creating a fresh pairing that audiences have not seen before. With Balaji Telefilms at the helm, the show is already set to be one of the most anticipated television launches of the year
