Actor Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar have collaborated on a new film titled NagZilla. It features Kartik in a never-seen-before avatar.
Karan shared the motion poster for the movie on Instagram. It shows a shirtless Kartik looking at a city from a snake-infested lair. He is wearing just a pair of blue jeans and has scaly, green snake-like skin.
The motion poster makes it clear that Kartik Aaryan will be playing the role of a shape-shifting serpent.
The caption read, “Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh li, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar! NaagZilla – Naag lok ka pehla kaand. Funnn phailaane aa raha hai (The first chapter of Naag Lok. Coming to spread the hood) Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand. Naag Panchami par aapke nazdeeki Sssssinemas mein (on Nag Panchami at your nearest theatres) 14 August 2026 ko.”
NagZilla, directed by Mrigadeep Singh Lamba, is produced by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films. It will release on August 14, 2026.
