Kartik Aaryan starrer Naagzilla postponed, to release during Valentine’s Day weekend 2027 The much-anticipated fantasy comedy Naagzilla, backed by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films, has officially been postponed from its earlier release date. Starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead, the film was initially slated to hit theatres on August 14, 2026, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend — a lucrative slot for big-ticket Bollywood releases. However, the makers have now decided to push the film’s release, with the new target being the Valentine’s Day weekend on February 12, 2027. Naagzilla, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, is a VFX-heavy project, with the actor playing a shape-shifting serpent. The film marks a significant collaboration between Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker-producer Karan Johar, along with producer Mahaveer Jain. It has already generated considerable buzz for its unique concept and scale. With its new release plan aligning with the Valentine’s Day weekend, Naagzilla is now expected to target a different audience segment, banking on its blend of fantasy, comedy, and romance to draw viewers to cinemas. The film’s postponement also means that it won’t be clashing with the Sunny Deol starrer Lahore 1947, which is slated to release on August 13. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the movie is produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions. Naagzilla is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, who is known for helming the three films in the successful Fukrey f... #Day #Independence_Day #Dharma_Productions #Kartik_Aaryan #Mahaveer_Jain #Aaryan #Mrighdeep_Singh #Singh_Lamba #Day_weekend #Naagzilla_postponed

Kartik Aaryan takes legal route to protect his identity, flags online misuse Actor Kartik Aaryan has approached the Bombay High Court, alleging unauthorised commercial use of his personality across multiple online platforms, in a move that underscores growing concerns over digital misuse of celebrity identities. According to reports, the actor has filed an intellectual property (IP) suit seeking protection of his name, image, likeness, and other identifiable attributes, which he claims are being used without consent. The plea targets several online platforms as well as unidentified individuals, often referred to as “John Doe” parties, accused of exploiting his persona for commercial gain. In his petition, Kartik has sought a permanent injunction to restrain entities from using his identity in advertisements, merchandise, or digital content. He has also urged the court to direct platforms to take down such material and disclose details of those responsible. The actor’s legal team has argued that the misuse extends to emerging digital formats, including manipulated content and AI-generated material, raising concerns around privacy and publicity rights in an increasingly tech-driven ecosystem.
