Mumbai, Nov 1 (NationPress) Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan kicked off the filming for his highly anticipated movie “Naagzilla” on Saturday, while also commemorating the one-year anniversary of his successful film “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”.
Kartik shared a selfie on Instagram featuring a film clapboard inscribed with “Naagzilla”.
“1 Year of #BhoolBhulaiyaa3 Day 1 of #Naagzilla Har Har Mahadev 14th August 2026,” he captioned the post.
“Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”, a comedy horror film directed by Anees Bazmee and penned by Aakash Kaushik, is the third in the franchise following 2007’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa and the 2022 release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
The film, featuring Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, follows the escapades of Ruhaan, a faux ghost-hunter who takes up a job at a haunted castle and uncovers a nefarious scheme by cunning priests. His journey turns into a hilarious yet terrifying adventure filled with unexpected twists.
On the other hand, ‘Naagzilla’ is set to be a fantasy film produced by Dharma Productions.
Merging Indian mythology with contemporary storytelling, the film promises an unprecedented portrayal of Kartik as he delves into a realm of shape-shifting serpents and supernatural elements.
In “Naagzilla”, Kartik Aaryan takes on the extraordinary role of Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand, a shape-shifting naag embarking on a magical quest.
The project is helmed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba with a script by Gautam Mehra. Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films are joining forces to bring this film to life.
This marks Kartik’s second partnership with Dharma Productions, following their eagerly awaited Valentine’s Day release, Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.
Scheduled for release on Nag Panchami on August 14, 2026, the film is generating considerable excitement.
Kartik is also set to star in ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ alongside Ananya Panday, which includes notable actors like Jackie Shroff, Neena Gupta, and others in significant roles.
This upcoming film marks the second collaboration between Kartik and Ananya after their 2019 film ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’, a remake of the 1978 classic featuring Bhumi Pednekar and Aparshakti Khurana.
Produced by Karan Johar in partnership with Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ is expected to hit theaters on February 13 next year. Additionally, Kartik's untitled project with Anurag Basu is set for a Diwali 2025 release.
