Akshay Kumar brings his superstar energy as Nagraj to ‘Naagin 7’; Priyanka Chahar Choudhary says ‘Working alongside Akshay sir has been surreal and special’ – The Times of India

‘Naagin 7’, starring Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, continues to hold its ground as one of television’s most iconic fantasy dramas, delivering larger-than-life characters and an ever-evolving mythology. The show which is known for raising the stakes, now stirs fresh excitement with a twist no one saw coming, bringing the grandeur of Bollywood into its supernatural world with the entry of superstar Akshay Kumar as ‘Nagraj’.As a powerful dragon he threatens to destroy everything the Naagin stands for. The story takes a decisive turn and pushes her to her absolute limit, both emotionally and physically. At this important point, Nagraj enters like a powerful force and protects her. He brings back her strength and purpose. But as old powers clash and the enemy becomes stronger, the big question is whether even he can help her rise and defeat such a powerful threat.

With destinies coming together and the stakes higher than ever, this track promises an intense face-off that could change her journey and the world she is trying to save.Thrilled to have shared screen space with Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary says, “Working alongside Akshay sir has been surreal and special. What he has built over the years – especially in the space of supernatural, high-concept, larger-than-life storytelling – is something actors like us genuinely learn from.

We’ve all grown up watching him command the big screen with such effortless conviction, so to now see him step into the role of the Naag Guru for our show was such an honour.

All credit to Ekta ma’am for envisioning and executing something of this scale. Sharing screen space with him in such an intense, high-stakes sequence came with its own mix of excitement and pressure. There’s that initial awareness – you know you’re performing with someone of his stature – but what really stood out was how generous he is as a co-actor. I’m super excited for the audience to witness the supernatural spectacle that the coming episodes are packing in.”
