Kartik Aaryan is back in the headlines, but this time the conversation is not entirely positive. The actor is going through a rough phase after his recent film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri failed to perform at the box office. Now, his upcoming fantasy-comedy Naagzilla has also grabbed attention after its release was pushed to 2027.
The creature-comedy was earlier scheduled for an Independence Day 2026 release. However, the makers have now shifted it to February 12, 2027, aligning it with the Valentine’s Day weekend. The change has sparked strong reactions online, with social media users debating its potential box office outcome.

The official announcement confirmed that Naagzilla will now arrive in theatres on February 12, 2027. Earlier, the film was part of Prime Video’s theatrical-backed slate and was expected to be released in August 2026.

The film has become a trending topic on social media platforms. Redditors openly discussed the postponement. Many expressed doubt about the film’s prospects, linking it to the Valentine’s Day release window.
