Kartik Aaryan’s Naagzilla Likely to Exit Independence Day Release

The VFX-heavy film remains in production, prompting the makers to prioritize a longer post-production timeline before locking a new date.

Overview

  • Trade reports indicate the August 14 target is in doubt because the shoot is still underway and will take a few more months to complete.
  • Sources say the team, including Kartik Aaryan, does not want to rush extensive VFX work and is now scouting a fresh release date to be announced once finalized.
  • With Naagzilla expected to vacate the August 14 window, the Independence Day slot opens up for other films to claim.
  • The fantasy-comedy features Aaryan as a shape-shifting naag, is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, and is produced by Dharma Productions with Mahaveer Jain Films.
  • Coverage attributes the likely postponement to creative and technical needs rather than box office considerations for unrelated titles.
