Aroona pitched the idea to Zee and like most new initiatives, there was some initial skepticism. She said, "Now they are more confident and even I am sure of this idea. Naaginn... is a fantasy family drama and fantasy works in today's world." Punit Goenka, business head of Zee TV was also quite sure about the appeal of this new venture. "The concept of Naaginn and it's unfamiliarity with the masses has always been of intrigue with the Indian audiences and I am confident that they will take to this new show," he said. Playing the lead in the show is the young Sayantani Ghosh, who also has a lead role in SaharaOne's Ghar Ek Sapna. Ask Sayantani if there was any conflict of interest and she says that it was not a problem with Sahara. "I had told them before signing for Naaginn..., so they were okay with it," she says. Aroona also confirmed this fact but she added that SaharaOne did not want Sayantani to do the show initially. "Later they were very supportive since I also produce Doli Saja Ke for them." Naaginn... has a weekend slot so it does not interfere with Sayantani's schedule with Sahara One. http://www.deccan.com/TV%20Guide/TV%20GuideDescription.asp#F antasy%20family%20drama%20gets%20real%20life%20inspiration |
