Kartik Aaryan is shooting for his film 'Naagzilla' on the streets of Delhi and his viral videos are creating a buzz on social media. The film is said to be a comedy-thriller, in which Kartik will be seen playing the role of a wish-fulfilling snake.

Kartik Aaryan became an 'icchhadhari naag' on the streets of Delhi, the shooting of ' '' created a stir. He is busy shooting for his next big film 'Naagzilla'. There is a huge craze among the fans about this film because Kartik is playing the role of an icchhadhari naag for the first time. Huge crowds of people gathered to see Kartik shooting in famous areas of Delhi like Connaught Place, India Gate and Laxmi Nagar Metro Station. Videos from the sets of this film on social media have set the internet on fire.
It is being produced under Karan Johar's Dharma Productions banner. Recently, another film featuring the two, "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," was released. Following that film, "Naagzilla" marks another major collaboration between the two. The film is being directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, the creator of blockbuster films like "Fukrey." Mrigdeep is adept at blending comedy and fantasy, so people have high expectations for this film.

Speaking of the film's Delhi schedule, some interesting scenes are being shot there. In a viral video, Kartik Aaryan's look is quite different, reminiscent of the internet-famous "Dolly Chaiwala." In another scene, he was seen shooting in the middle of an LGBTQIA+ protest or march in the heart of Connaught Place. This means the film's story is going to be quite different and interesting. Kartik didn't disappoint his fans even amidst his busy schedule, waving to the huge crowd gathered there during the shoot.

Kartik Aaryan's character in the film is reportedly named "Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand Nag." It will be a fantasy comedy that will present Indian folklore in a contemporary context. Shooting began on November 1, 2025, and after completing the Mumbai schedule, the team is now wrapping up the final portion in Delhi.

As for the film's female lead, no names have been officially announced yet. However, rumors suggest that either Pratibha Ranta, of "Missing Ladies" fame, or South Indian sensation Srileela could star opposite Kartik. Srileela is already working with Kartik in Anurag Basu's upcoming musical film, making her a likely choice.
Ravi Kishan is playing the role of villain in the film, who will add a desi flavour to the film.

Kartik Aaryan recently made headlines for his fee. It's reported that he cut his fee by ₹15 crore to reduce the producer's (Dharma Productions) losses after his last film underperformed at the box office. This move has been widely praised within the film industry. This move has also put an end to rumors that there was a rift between Kartik and Karan Johar.

The makers are likely aiming to release "Naagzilla" on Nag Panchami to give the film's theme the festive atmosphere. However, industry buzz suggests that it may be delayed due to post-production and VFX work.
Kartik has several other big projects in the pipeline. He's also about to begin work on films like "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4" and "Tu Aashiqui Hai." However, for now, his focus is on "Naagzilla." Seeing a major male actor in Indian cinema portray a wish-fulfilling serpent will be a completely new and exciting experience for audiences.

Kartik's look here is quite serious, sporting a bearded look with a leather jacket. This scene has sparked a discussion on social media about whether the film, along with the story of the Ichchhadhari Naag, also addresses LGBTQ+ rights or other social issues. While the makers have remained silent on this, the Pride Parade sequence has increased the curiosity about the film exponentially.

The film was shot not only in Connaught Place, but also in Delhi's famous Palika Bazaar. A very exciting chase sequence was filmed there. Shooting in a crowded underground market like Palika Bazaar was not easy, but it was completed under tight security. In addition, some important parts of the film were also shot on the banks of the Yamuna Ghat and in areas like Dwarka. Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba also shared a video from the set.

Another important information about the film is that "Naagzilla" is being planned not as just one film, but as a trilogy, meaning a series of three films. If this film is a hit, we may see Part 2 and Part 3 in the coming years.

Kartik Aaryan has also worked hard on his body language for this film. Since he plays a 'Naag,' his movements and expressions require a unique agility and flexibility. While shooting at the Laxmi Nagar station of the Delhi Metro, he repeatedly checked his shots on the monitor to ensure everything looked perfect. Security on set is so tight that no one is allowed to carry phones, yet fans are still able to catch glimpses.

In addition to "Naagzilla," Kartik will also be seen in "Captain India" and Anurag Basu's next film. But for now, the drama of "Naag Lok" unfolding on the streets of Delhi remains the talk of the town.
