Kartik Aaryan is gearing up for a wildly unique role in his upcoming film NAAGRAAJ, a Karan Johar production that promises to blend humor with high-octane action. Media buzz about Kartik "fighting with snakes" isn’t entirely off the mark—but there’s a twist. The actor won’t just be battling serpents; he’ll be transforming into a snake-man himself, taking on the titular role in this hilarious venture.

Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, known for his comedic flair, NAAGRAAJ has been in development for some time. Interestingly, the script was initially offered to Akshay Kumar, who passed on the project, paving the way for Kartik to step into this quirky, larger-than-life character. The film, currently in pre-production, is set to begin shooting in September 2025, with the makers eyeing a theatrical release in the second half of 2026.

The first look of NAAGRAAJ is reportedly ready and expected to drop soon, complete with a confirmed release date that fans are eagerly awaiting. Kartik, fresh off a string of successful films, is said to be excited about this unconventional role, which combines his signature charm and comedic timing with a fantastical edge.

With Karan Johar’s production prowess and Lamba’s knack for laugh-out-loud storytelling, NAAGRAAJ is shaping up to be a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. Stay tuned for more updates as Kartik Aaryan prepares to shed his skin—figuratively and maybe even literally—for this slithering spectacle!
