Kartik Aaryan will have two releases, both of which look promising and mass-appealing. One of them is Naagzilla, which features the popular actor as a shape-shifting nag. The film was announced last year and was scheduled for a release on August 14 to take advantage of the Independence Day weekend. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the makers plan to push the comic caper.<\/p>\n

\"SCOOP:<\/p>\n

SCOOP: Kartik Aaryan\u2019s Naagzilla expected to be pushed ahead; might not meet the Independence Day deadline<\/p>\n

A source told Bollywood Hungama, \u201cNaagzilla\u2019s shoot is still going on and is expected to be wrapped up in a few months. Moreover, this is a film with heavy VFX. As a result, the post-production is going to take a lot of time. The makers of the film and lead actor Kartik Aaryan are very clear that they don\u2019t want to rush through the process. They are aware that they have a special film in hand and want to nurture and fine-tune it properly before presenting it to the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source further said, \u201cThe makers of Naagzilla are looking for a new date and once it is locked, it will be officially announced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naagzilla is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba of Fukrey fame and backed by Karan Johar\u2019s Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain\u2019s Mahaveer Jain Films. It marks the first association of Kartik Aaryan and Mahaveer Jain, Mahaveer Jain and Karan Johar and the second film for Kartik and KJo after Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the trade and industry are keen to see which date the makers of the snake comedy lock. A trade expert commented, \u201cKartik Aaryan\u2019s other release in 2026 is Anurag Basu\u2019s untitled musical, co-starring Sreeleela. That film\u2019s release date is also yet to be announced. Both the musical love story and Naagzilla are important titles for 2026, and there\u2019s genuine anticipation and curiosity around their release plans. Hopefully, the dates will be announced soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The expert continued, \u201cNaagzilla was the only film that had blocked the August 14 slot. If it eventually vacates this lucrative Independence Day window, it\u2019ll be interesting to see which film steps in to claim it.\u201d<\/p>\n
