Prince Narula is definitely going places. After winning the ninth season of Salman Khan's reality show Bigg Boss, Prince Narula's popularity saw a huge surge. Though his Bollywood career didn't exactly take flight, he is quite a popular name on television circuit. Now he is all set to join one of the most popular shows on television, Naagin 3. It will be a cameo role that offers an interesting and different scope for the actor. The show is produced by Ekta Kapoor, while Surbhi Jyoti plays the lead

TOI quotes a source close the production house saying, "Prince seemed to fit the bill perfectly and the production house liked him. We are happy to have him on board." As per the same report, he is playing a snake-charmer in the show. So can we expect him to clash with the shape-shifting leads of the show?

Prince Narula, who is all set to marry fellow Bigg Boss contestant Yuvika Chaudhary later this year, also confirmed his presence in Naagin 3 to TOI. He said, "I am soon going to shoot for the show and it’s an important cameo. I am not at liberty to divulge much. All I can say is that I am playing a snake-charmer, who is actually a charmer as a person. It’s a negative character and I wanted to take it up. After playing the quintessential hero in a daily soap, I wanted to take up a negative character to prove my versatility to my audience. I am an actor and it’s the character that’s important and not its shade. My job is to act well."

Apparently, it is Ranveer Singh who has inspired Prince to take on this negative role, as he added, " I have been a fan of Ranveer Singh. If he can play an Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat, why can’t I play a negative role?"

We are sure that Naagin fans would be quite excited with this new addition to the cast. What say?
