About Naagzilla
Naagzilla promises a world of shape-shifting snakes, rooted in Indian folklore. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Mahaveer Jain, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, and Neetu M Jain. Backed by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films, the film is co-produced by Marijke deSouza & Divyansh Jain. Written by Gautam Mehra.
Kartik Aaryan will essay the role of Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand, an Icchadhaarinaag (shape‑shifting snake) who embarks on an epic adventure. Meanwhile, actor-politician Ravi Kishan will reportedly play the villain against Kartik. According to reports, South Indian actress Preity Mukhundhan will play the female lead in the film. However, nothing has been confirmed so far by the makers.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kartik Aaryan was last seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, alongside Ananya Panday, which bombed at the box-office despite a festive Christmas release. The romantic comedy opened to modest numbers but struggled to sustain momentum later. Going forward, the actor has films like the aviation drama Captain India (2027), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 in the pipeline. Similarly, he also has an untitled musical with director Anurag Basu, co-starring Sreeleela and a project with producer Luv Ranjan in development.
