Mouni Roy’s Naagin 2 in trouble; all thanks to Rajat Tokas!

Rajat Tokas' behaviour apparently upset well known director Santram Verma who decided to walk out of Naagin 2 after losing out on Chandranandini

While fans are excited about Naagin 2, reports suggest that TV czarina Ekta Kapoor is in a fix. As per a report in an entertainment portal SpotboyE.com, director Santram Verma who helmed the first season of the TRP topping supernatural series has opted out of season two. This has happened reportedly due to actor Rajat Tokas. Santram and Ekta share a long-time equation that goes back to the days of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. He was also the man who directed Jodha Akbar, a highly successful show for ZEE TV. However, it seems a lot of issues cropped up between Santram and Rajat during the making of Jodha Akbar, which the TV hunk clearly has not forgotten.
Santram was chosen by Ekta to helm her ambitious project, Chandranandini for Star Plus. He did the ground work for the show. However, when Rajat came to know that Santram was going to direct the show, he put his foot down. He said it is either Santram or him on the show. Giving Rajat’s successful track record in historical shows, the channel preferred to keep him and let go of Santram. Ekta also apparently gave into the channel’s demands. This left the director extremely disappointed.

He walked upto Ekta’s office and told her he does not want to direct Naagin 2 as well. This is indeed sad news as the show was such a hit under his leadership. In fact, during Naagin we had heard that Santram had a tiff with actor Manish Khanna as well. Things got quite nasty but the matter was resolved.

The buzz is Santram has decided to leave the production house i.e. Balaji Telefilms and moved onto Cinevistaas with some members of his team. The director confirmed to the website that his first project with Cinevistaas will roll out soon. On the other front, Ekta has approached Anil V Mehra to direct Naagin 2. He has also worked in shows like Kahiin Toh Hoga and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki.
