Ekta Lets Go Of Naagin 2 Director, Wants Original Choice Santram Back
Ekta Kapoor wants a new director at the helm of her much-hyped show and is hoping to woo back her lucky mascot Santram Verma
Ekta Kapoor's Naagin was one of the biggest TRP successes in the TV czarina's career after her K-soap era. And it was amid much fanfare that the second season of the fantasy show began airing earlier this month.
But just a couple of episodes in, the show is set to get a new helmer. Sources tell SpotboyE.com that Ekta has told director Anil V.Kumarr that his vision is not working and is hunting for a replacement.
The news comes soon after Ekta was forced to let go of one of her favourites, Santram Verma (Ekta Kapoor Loses Naagin 2 Director, Blame it on Rajat Tokas, October 7). Ekta and Santram have a long and winsome history. He had helmed the first season of Naagin and naturally, was her first choice to direct Naagin 2.
Ekta was however confident that Anil will be able to fill the shoes of Santram but it soon became clear that he was not able to get the desired continuity between the two seasons. Given that the first season is still fresh in the memory of the audiences, Ekta naturally wants the second installment to recreate the magic created by the first season.
So, Anil is out of Naagin 2. In the interim, another director from the Balaji stable has taken the director’s seat. Meanwhile, Ekta is hoping to woo Santram back for Naagin 2.
While Santram remained unavailable for comment, a friend of the director told us that his return is possible. “He has not received a call from Ekta yet but he will surely return to Naagin 2 if she asks him to,” said the director’s friend.
Will Santram step in? Time will tell.
