Kartik Aaryan Turns Icchadhari Naag in Karan Johar’s ‘NagZilla’: Motion Poster Out Now!
Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan is back with a bang—this time in a never-seen-before avatar. In a massive surprise for fans, Karan Johar dropped the first motion poster of his upcoming project titled ‘NagZilla’, featuring Kartik as a mystical, shape-shifting serpent.
What Does the Motion Poster Reveal?
The intriguing motion poster shows Kartik Aaryan standing inside a snake den, his back facing the camera. Wearing blue jeans and gazing towards a faraway cityscape, his human skin eerily begins to transform into green, scaly serpent-like skin—signaling his supernatural character.
A voiceover by Kartik Aaryan adds to the eerie vibe, as he says:
“Icchadhari naag. Roop badalne ke shakti rakhne waale saap. Jaise ki main. Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand. Umar 631 saal…”
The character’s name—Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand—and his age—631 years—have already piqued audience curiosity. Kartik’s dialogue teases viewers to brace for a tale from the Naag Lok, stating:
“Insano wali picturein toh bohot dekhli, ab dekho naago waali picturein.”
NaagZilla Release Date and Production Details
NaagZilla is all set to hit the big screens on August 14, 2026, coinciding with Naag Panchami. As the caption humorously states:
“NaagZilla – Naag lok ka pehla kaand. Funnn phailaane aa raha hai!”
Directed by Mrigadeep Singh Lamba, the film is being jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films. With high expectations from this mytho-fantasy entertainer, fans are already calling it one of the boldest roles in Kartik Aaryan’s career.
