While talking to a news tabloid, Dheeraj confirmed that he has been roped in to play the role of one of the servants. Dheeraj Dhoopar stated that Naagin is a 'huge brand' in the television industry and that he agreed to play the part without thinking twice about his decision.

Dhoopar said that essaying a role in Naagin 5 is going to be a challenge for him. He elaborated by saying that he has only played human characters till now. He said that a show like Naagin, which is so high on VFX, is going to be a new challenge for him. He stated that the actors have to pretend to act with a lot of props which will then be replaced and edited in the postproduction work.

To study for the role in Naagin 5, Dhoopar said he is watching a lot of films from the era.
