Kartik Aaryan Joins Hands with Dharma Productions Once Again for ‘Naagzhila’; Actor to Play a Shape-Shifting Serpent in a Mythological Comedy-Adventure
According to the http://www.pinkvilla.com
After announcing Tu Meri, Main Tera, Kartik Aaryan has teamed up with Dharma Productions once again for another film. The upcoming project is titled Naagzhila, and Dharma recently unveiled the film’s striking motion poster, generating a wave of excitement among fans.
According to sources, Kartik has added this unique project to his already packed schedule, currently busy shooting for Aashiqui 3. Despite his hectic calendar, he has made time to dive into a brand-new genre — mythological fantasy. Under the Dharma banner, Naagzhila will feature Kartik in the role of an ichchhadhari naag — a mystical, shape-shifting serpent rooted in Indian mythology.
The motion poster reveals Kartik Aaryan standing with his back to the camera, his skin glowing with a snake-like blue sheen. He’s seen wearing jeans, shirtless, surrounded by massive serpents. The poster carries the tagline: “Naaglok ka Pehla Khand” (The First Chapter of the Snake Realm), suggesting a potentially expansive cinematic universe.
Naagzhila will be directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, best known for his work on the Fukrey series. The film promises a blend of mythology, comedy, and adventure, and is scheduled for release on Nag Panchami 2026. The story reportedly draws inspiration from ancient Indian mythological tales and legends.
Meanwhile, Kartik is currently immersed in the romantic-musical Aashiqui 3, directed by Anurag Basu, where his on-screen chemistry with co-star Shraddha Kapoor (Shree Leela) has already become a talking point across social media, thanks to leaked videos and photos from the set.

Kartik Aaryan has rapidly become one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, with back-to-back hits. His continued evolution as a performer and his growing popularity have led to a flood of film offers. Alongside Naagzhila, he’s also working on the romantic drama Tu Meri, Main Tera, directed by Sameer Vidwans.
There is also speculation that Naagzhila might release alongside Amar Kaushik’s Bhediya 2, starring Varun Dhawan under the Maddock Films banner. While the first Bhediya didn’t fare as expected at the box office, the sequel might offer a compelling box office face-off with Kartik’s mythological avatar.
