Filmmaker Ektaa Kapoor has been keeping audiences glued to their screens every weekend with her supernatural fantasy drama Naagin 7. The latest twist in the show is the introduction of a new character — the Icchadhari (shape-shifting) Dragon, played by Kanika Mann. While fans had been eagerly waiting for the dragon’s entry as the main antagonist, it seems the concept hasn’t quite impressed them, with many expressing their disappointment online.
Reddit users react to Dragon’s entry in Naagin 7
Kanika had earlier confirmed that she would be playing an ‘icchadhari (shape-shifting) dragon’ in the show. A Reddit user shared the promo showing Kanika’s entry and wrote, “I doubted the fact that Ektaa won’t make the dragon icchadhari. I genuinely doubted it. But guess I was wrong.” The internet reacted to the video, with many expressing their disappointment over the concept.
One of the comments read, “Yeah lol. No animals in Ekta’s universe can remain normal. And it doesn’t even make sense.” Another wrote, “Ekta is just collecting icchadhari animals like Pokémon, isn’t she?” Another commented, “This is the exact reason I’m not watching it because wtf are dragons doing in a naagin world? It doesn’t make sense. Shapeshifting snakes were fine, but why tf would there be shapeshifting dragons? She’s doing it for trolls and memes atp.” Another comment read, “The real animal park.” Another wrote, “Guess she figured that AI dragons aren’t really exciting or practical, so she turned it into a human!”
Ektaa had already announced that season seven would be all about Naagin vs Dragon. The announcement video showed an intense face-off between the Naagin and the dragon, leaving fans hooked.
