Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan kicked off the weekend with double celebrations — marking the first anniversary of his hit film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and the first day of shooting for his next big project, Naagzilla. Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a photo holding the film’s clapboard, which proudly displayed the title Naagzilla. His caption read: “1 Year of #BhoolBhulaiyaa3 Day 1 of #Naagzilla Har Har Mahadev 14th August 2026.”
While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 — directed by Anees Bazmee and written by Aakash Kaushik — cemented Kartik’s place as Bollywood’s reigning horror-comedy star, Naagzilla marks a thrilling shift in tone. Described as a fantasy entertainer rooted in Indian folklore, the film will see Kartik in an entirely new avatar as Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand, a shape-shifting serpent embarking on a supernatural adventure. Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and written by Gautam Mehra, the film is being jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films.
Naagzilla promises to blend mythology with modern spectacle, offering audiences a mix of mysticism, humor, and high-octane visual storytelling. It also marks Kartik’s second collaboration with Dharma Productions, following the much-anticipated romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, which hits theaters on Valentine’s Day 2026. That film co-stars Ananya Panday, Jackie Shroff, and Neena Gupta, reuniting Kartik and Ananya after their 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh.
Meanwhile, fans continue to celebrate Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which saw Kartik share the screen with Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri. The comedy-horror, the third installment in the beloved franchise, followed Ruhaan — a fake ghost-chaser caught in a maze of deceit and supernatural chaos. The film’s success reinforced Kartik’s versatility and his ability to balance mass appeal with inventive storytelling.
With Naagzilla slated to release on Nag Panchami, August 14, 2026, and multiple high-profile projects in the pipeline — including an untitled Anurag Basu film set for Diwali 2025 — Kartik Aaryan is clearly entering one of the most ambitious phases of his career. The actor’s journey from haunted mansions to mythical serpents is shaping up to be one of Bollywood’s most exciting transformations.
