Nagarjuna-Ek Yoddha is an Indian hindi fantasy fiction drama television series, which premiered on 30 May 2016 and is currently airing on Life OK. The series is produced by Yash A Patnaik of Beyond Dreams Production and will feature Anshuman Malhotra, Nikitin Dheer and Pooja Banerjee in lead roles. The series is inspired by a reference to Naag Lok in the Mahabharata where one of the greatest warriors, Arjuna married Ulupi, a Naga princess. She was the one who saved him when he was cursed by the Vasus for killing Bhishma through foul means. The story is virtually unknown in Indian mythology but is quite interesting.

Jeet Ganguly composed the soundtrack, which have been sung by Jubin Nautiyal and Shankar Mahadevan while stunts have been designed by Amar Shetty.[1][2] The show have been written by Robin Bhatt and Akash Khurana while Nitin Chandrakant Desai designed the set of the show. The show's first look was launched in Mumbai on May 24, 2016.[3]

Character and looks

Nikitin Dheer will be playing an unusual anti-hero character in the show. He will also be the reel father to Malhotra, the lead character's father.[14] He trained himself in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and sword fighting for six months. Pooja has gone for a makeover of sorts for the show. The actress will be playing a simple girl-next-door character called Noorie in the show. Earlier, Pooja’s role was supposed to be played by Anshuman’s real life girlfriend Sanaya Pithawala but somehow the deal did not work out and Pooja bagged it at the last minute. Anshuman is four years younger to Pooja and to ensure they look approximately around the same age, she was asked to chop off her long tresses.[15] Mrunal will be seen as a super villain, who will double up as a cop called Rajbir, in the show. Explaining the intricacies of playing such a role, he says, "My character Shankachurna is different compared to what I have done in the past." The costume that he will be wearing has a lot of elements, including claws jutting out from the right shoulder.It takes the actor over an hour just to get into the look of the character, complete with the costume and a wig, which he is wearing for the first time.[16] Actor Arjun Singh will be playing a grey shade, Anandi will be seen as Anshuman's mother, Ajay will be Anshuman's father and Sheela would play his aunt in the show. Rishina will be playing the role of Nag Maya who will protect the Naglok. Her character will foresee the future.[17]
