Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan Said to Plan Third Collaboration for 2026 Shoot

Trade outlets cite unnamed sources on a new film as Naagzilla holds an official August 14, 2026 release date.

Overview

  • Bollywood Hungama reports that Kartik Aaryan has agreed to a third film with Karan Johar, with details kept under wraps and described by insiders as “genre-defining.”
  • The reported project is expected to begin filming in August 2026, timed after the release of Naagzilla.
  • Within Dharma Productions, Aaryan is reportedly being positioned as a Gen‑Z poster boy and viewed internally as a highly bankable lead.
  • Two collaborations are already in the pipeline: Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri for Christmas 2025 and Naagzilla, which has an official motion poster and date.
  • Trade coverage further claims Naagzilla is being developed as a franchise that would keep Aaryan as the sole recurring presence across installments.
