Comments:
Mr. Anooj Kapoor, Senior EVP and Business Head, Sony SAB
“We have always believed in innovating and creating disruptive content. In an age where regressive supernatural content is shown on television, Iccha’s portrayal of a friendly, innocent and completely harmless ‘naagin’ itself is refreshing. Moreover, she utilizes her supernatural powers only for social good. We hope viewers love our brand new take on Naags and Naagins.”
Mr. Siddharth Malhotra, Producer, Icchapyaari Naagin
“The idea of Icchapyaari Naagin came to us from SAB’s creative team, together we developed the concept further to create this unusual yet entertaining show. In the show, Iccha, our protagonist, is given the mantle by her community to make humans see the good side of them. While on earth, she wins people over with her purity and sweetness but what follows in her life are obstacles which she has never thought of and emotions which she has never felt before. I hope the audiences love our fresh and light-hearted take on ‘naagins’.”
