Kartik Aaryan has a fantastic lineup of films for 2025 and 2026. After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the actor is ready to dive into his next big project. This time, he will be seen in a creature comedy-drama titled Naagzilla: Naag lok ka pehla kaand. The film is being produced by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain.
We have an exclusive update on the film’s progress. Kartik Aaryan has reportedly wrapped up the official poster shoot for the movie today in a Mumbai studio. This marks the beginning of the film’s promotional journey, and the shooting is scheduled to start very soon.
Filming Begins On November 1
A source close to the project has revealed that Naagzilla is all set to go on floors on November 1st. Kartik is said to be very excited to try this completely new character. The film was officially announced back in April 2025 and has already locked in its release date.
Fans can mark their calendars for August 14, 2026. The film is planned for a big release on the Independence Day weekend, which also lines up with Naag Panchami, making it a perfect date for a movie about a shape-shifting serpent.
Kartik Aaryan As An ‘Ichadaari Naag’
Based on the official announcement, Kartik Aaryan will be playing the role of Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand, an ‘Ichadaari Naag’. This is a very different role for the actor, and fans are eager to see him in this creature-comedy space. The film is also said to have franchise potential, meaning we might see more Naagzilla movies if the first one is a hit.
The movie is being directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, who is famous for giving audiences the superhit Fukrey franchise. This will be Lamba’s first time directing a film outside of the Fukrey world, making it a fresh project for him as well.
The Team And Kartik’s Other Projects
Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) and Mahavir Jain Films are producing Naagzilla. This will be their first time working together as producers. While most of the cast is still a secret, there are reports that actor Ravi Kishan has joined the film, though no official confirmation has been made. This film also marks Kartik Aaryan’s second collaboration with Karan Johar after Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.
Kartik Aaryan is keeping very busy. His next film to release will be Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, where he stars opposite Ananya Panday. He is also currently shooting for a musical romantic drama with director Anurag Basu, co-starring Sreeleela. After that, he has two more exciting films lined up, one with Chak De India director Shimit Amin and another with Shershaah director Vishnuvardhan.
