Back in May, rumours of Naagin 4 being taken off air were in the headlines, followed by that of the show undergoing a re-vamp. However, Ekta Kapoor, in a clarification video, revealed that Naagin 4 will get its conclusion in a 4-episode 'Fantastic' finale and the makers will immediately jump into Naagin 5.

Ekta also went on to acknowledge that they (makers) had worked a little less on Naagin 4 as compared to its previous seasons. Poor ratings of Naagin 4, as compared to its successors' record-breaking TRPs was the main reason for the show shutting shop so soon and Ekta Kapoor also took full responsibility for the show's failure.
