The release date of Kartik Aaryan-starrer Naagzilla has been postponed. The Fukrey film series fame Mrighdeep Singh Lamba directorial, written by Gautam Mehra, was earlier scheduled to release on August 14 this year. The film will now be securing a Valentine’s weekend release next year on February 12.
With the date shift, Naagzilla will also be avoiding a clash with Sunny Deol’s Lahore 1947, which is scheduled to release on August 13.
A motion poster of Kartik from the film was unveiled earlier this year where snakes were seen covering his legs and his back is being turned into the skin of a reptile.
Sharing the poster, the makers had written, “Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh leen, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar (You must have films on humans before, now watch a film on snakes) Naagzilla- Naag lok ka Pehla Kaand. Funnn phailaane Aa raha hu main, (Coming to spread ‘fun’) Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand.”
Naagzilla was earlier reported to be a “high-concept comedy-franchise”. It marks Kartik’s second collaboration with Dharma after Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.
The film is produced by Karan Johar and Adar Poonawalla’s Dharma Productions along with Mahaveer Jain films.
