Fans are in for a treat next year on August 14, 2026, as Kartik Aaryan unveils his exciting creature-comedy, Naagzilla, helmed by director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. However, fans may find themselves torn between their excitement for this film and the simultaneous release of Varun Dhawan’s highly anticipated sequel to Bhediya, as both movies are set to hit the screens on the same day.
On Tuesday, April 22nd, Kartik Aaryan ignited the web by revealing his second project with Karan Johar titled Naagzilla. The initial glimpse of Aaryan as a ‘shape-shifting snake’ (icchadhaari naag) was unveiled through an animated poster.
In the video, we find Kartik without a shirt, clad in blue denim pants, gazing out over the city from what appeared to be his residence teeming with snakes. Remarkably, parts of his body bore a resemblance to that of a scaly snake.
Looking at the snake-themed backdrops, now check out the snake-themed poster! #Naagzilla – The first strike of the serpent world…Fun is about to erupt – Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand…
On Snake Festival, cinemas near you – August 14, 2026!” was the caption for the official announcement post.

Conversely, Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films unveiled their lineup of upcoming horror-comedy movies back in January this year. By broadening the horizon of the horror-comedy genre, the production company not only revealed the sequels of fan favorites but also a number of brand new projects.
Alongside other upcoming movies, the cast of Bhediya 2 featuring Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, and Abhishek Banerjee has been announced for a theater release on August 14, 2026, coinciding with Independence Day. Directed by Amar Kaushik, this film serves as the sequel to the movie that was released in 2022.
Take a look
As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that apart from Bhediya 2, Maddock Productions has unveiled two upcoming movies – Thama and Shakti Shalini, set for release in 2025. Moreover, Bhediya 2 and Chamunda are slated for release next year. Looking even further ahead, Stree 2, Maha Munjya, Pehla Mahayudh, and Doosara Mahayudh have been planned for releases in 2027 and 2028 respectively.
On this festive occasion of Diwali, it’s quite intriguing to note that both Kartik Films and Maddock Productions have films hitting the cinemas. I’m particularly excited about two releases: Kartik’s upcoming musical romantic saga, featuring Sreeleela and directed by Anurag Basu, and Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thama. Both movies will be gracing the screens on Diwali this year, making for an interesting box office clash!
