Kartik Aryan is ready to break new ground with his boldest transformation yet. On Tuesday, the actor introduced fans to a fantastical side of his repertoire, revealing his look as an Ichadaari Naag in the upcoming film NaagZilla. With the official motion poster now out, excitement around the project has skyrocketed, especially with the announcement that the film is set to hit theatres on August 14, 2026.
The motion poster, which took fans by surprise, features Kartik as Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand—an enigmatic and shape-shifting serpent who seems poised to bring both myth and mischief to the big screen. The fantasy flick promises a departure from Kartik’s usual roles, offering a blend of supernatural elements and quirky storytelling.
Karan Johar, sharing the poster on Instagram, added his signature flair to the announcement: “Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh li, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar! #NaagZilla – Naag lok ka pehla kaand… Funnn phailaane aa raha hai – Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand… Naag Panchami par aapke nazdeeki Sssssinemas mein – 14 August 2026 ko!”
This marks Kartik’s second outing with Dharma Productions, following their romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, which is slated for release on Valentine’s Day. With NaagZilla, however, he dives into a realm that’s equal parts mystical and madcap—setting the stage for a film that’s sure to charm audiences with its blend of folklore and fun.
