This is the first Naagin show but love VJ since Udaan.
Have been watching but was off the forum and social media but this topic about the choice of ML that too of my favo Hero Vijayendra had to pull me into.
A show survives not on pairs or leads be it male or female but mainly with storyline and also the depth.
it has to be accepted Naagin 1 has always been commended upon as the concept was fresh and new so it brought the WOW factor.
Three seasons passed by and the concept is always about revenge but there is paucity or exhaustion of creativity so WOW factor is diminishing as it is a normal tendency to refer to the old pages. Story I will not talk about.
But with regards to VJ.... he is a phenomenal actor and yes he is excellent in dark / grey but that does not mellow him down when he does the white or positive shade.
He has that persona and aura and the swag and attitude and he can make the character relate as he breathes life into it.
Example was the short stint of Madhav Sharma in the otherwise sinking ship Sufiyana Pyaar Mera. Though a simple character he brought the layers excellently.
Emotional scenes and actions are his forte and he is indeed an expression king and his voice modulation would make anyone awe at him.
Coming to his casting in Naagin.... sure his layers in Sastri Sisters, Udaan (where he made an indelible mark as Suraj Rajvanshi) and the latest in Sufiyaana had made the producer and the Franchise choose him. It cannot be denied he has made more fans as even in this straight novice business tycoon Dev.
About the chemistry both are doing good as being brought out by the directors.
Appreciation of leads chemistry depends on the fans too
Each and every actor has his own fd and also the mark but defintely VJ is not a bad Lead for Naagin brand.
