Kartik Aaryan Wraps Up Naagzilla Shoot by February-End, August 14 Release on Track


Kartik Aaryan is steadily progressing toward wrapping up his upcoming creature comedy Naagzilla: Naag Lok Ka Pehla Kaand, with the actor expected to complete filming by the end of February. Currently shooting in Mumbai, Aaryan is working on the penultimate schedule of the film under the direction of Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. The project remains firmly on track for its planned August 14 theatrical release.

The film sees Kartik Aaryan stepping into a unique avatar, portraying a shape-shifting serpent in a fantasy-driven narrative that blends humour with visual spectacle. Actor Ravi Kishan is also part of the ongoing Mumbai schedule. According to sources, the team will move to Delhi in February for the final leg of filming, which is expected to continue for about a month. Once principal photography concludes, March will be reserved for patchwork and finishing touches.

Given the heavy reliance on visual effects, the makers have already begun VFX work alongside the shoot to ensure timely completion without compromising on quality. The intent, sources reveal, is to deliver a polished and immersive experience, allowing sufficient time to assess and refine the effects once filming wraps up.

Naagzilla marks Kartik Aaryan’s second collaboration with Dharma Productions following Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025). The film stars South actor Sreeleela as the female lead, making this her second project with Aaryan. She is also set to make her Bollywood debut opposite him in Anurag Basu’s upcoming musical drama, further strengthening their on-screen pairing.

With filming nearing completion and post-production already in motion, Naagzilla is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated quirky releases of the year, promising a mix of fantasy, comedy, and visual spectacle for audiences.

Kartik Aaryan Invests ₹13 Crore in Andheri West Office Space Alongside Parents


Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan has made headlines, not for a film release, but for a ₹13 crore investment in a prime office property in Andheri West, Mumbai. Partnering with his parents, Mala and Manish Tiwari, the investment was officially registered in September 2025.

The property is located in Signature by Lotus, a prominent commercial building in Andheri West, offering a RERA carpet area of 176.98 sq m (1,905 sq ft) and a built-up area of 194.67 sq m (2,095 sq ft). Along with the space, the Aaryan family has secured three car parking spots. The deal included a stamp duty payment of ₹78 lakh and registration charges of ₹30,000.

Andheri West is considered one of Mumbai’s most desirable commercial hubs, with strong road, rail, and metro connectivity. Its proximity to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and key business centers like Bandra Kurla Complex, SEEPZ, and Lower Parel makes it a hotspot for professionals and investors.

Kartik, who started his career with Pyaar Ka Punchnama in 2011, has become one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars. With successful films such as Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Luka Chuppi, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Satyaprem Ki Katha, he has also now made a smart move into real estate, expanding his portfolio beyond cinema.

This investment reflects a growing trend among celebrities diversifying into real estate, leveraging prime locations in Mumbai to secure long-term value.

Podcast Host Alleges Threats After Amaal Mallik Speaks Up for Kartik Aaryan


Written by Tanisha Cardozo

Mumbai, July 2025: The Hindi film industry finds itself in the eye of another storm, this time involving music composer Amaal Mallik, actor Kartik Aaryan, and podcast host Gaurav Thakur.

In a candid episode on Mirchi Plus, Amaal Mallik opened up about the “power games” and pressure tactics allegedly used by big producers and actors against Kartik Aaryan. Drawing a parallel to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Mallik remarked on the recurring pattern of isolating outsiders in Bollywood.

“You can see that people are trying the same things, directly or indirectly, with Kartik Aaryan as well… Big producers, big actors, all of them do it,” Mallik stated, while praising Kartik for standing tall with the support of his family.

Shortly after the podcast went live on YouTube, host Gaurav Thakur claimed he began receiving threatening calls, asking him to take the episode down. In an Instagram Story, he wrote:

“I’ve been receiving threat calls asking me to take down the Amaal Mallik podcast because of the revelations he made.”

Thakur clarified that the conversation was not scripted and that Kartik’s PR team was not involved in orchestrating the episode. He firmly stated that he has no intention of removing the podcast.

The episode has triggered widespread reactions across social media. Fans on Reddit and X (Twitter) rallied behind Kartik Aaryan, calling out the alleged “mafia-like” structure of the industry. Many expressed concern, referencing past instances of toxic behavior within Bollywood’s power circles.

“They just want to erase him to protect their own group,” said one Reddit user, while another remarked, “It’s scary but not surprising.”

Kartik Aaryan, once an outsider with no industry backing, has built a solid career with hits like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Satyaprem Ki Katha, and Chandu Champion. Despite repeated reports of him being dropped from big-banner projects, Kartik continues to maintain a strong fan base and professional momentum.

He is now gearing up for a romantic musical opposite actress Sreeleela, and the industry will no doubt be watching closely.

This incident reopens the debate around gatekeeping in Bollywood, the pressure on independent artists, and the power of free speech in creative platforms. As discussions grow louder, voices like Mallik’s and Thakur’s may signal a new era of transparency, solidarity, and accountability in the industry.
