Kartik Aaryan Grabs Another Akshay Kumar-Linked Project, Set to Star in ‘Naagin’ Themed Comedy
Kartik Aaryan has built a reputation for seizing one big opportunity after another, often landing roles that were initially associated with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. The latest in this streak is an upcoming high-concept comedy based on the popular ‘Naagin’ theme, which filmmaker Karan Johar is reportedly developing.
This project will also mark yet another collaboration between Kartik and Karan Johar, following their much-publicized fallout over Dostana 2 and their recent reconciliation with Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.
A Trilogy Featuring Shape-Shifting Snakes
According to industry sources, the film is envisioned as a trilogy that will delve into the intriguing world of shape-shifting serpents, blending elements of horror, fantasy, and comedy. Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, known for his work on the hit Fukrey franchise, is on board to helm this ambitious project.
While Bollywood has experimented with supernatural and mythological themes in the past, the Naagin concept has primarily ruled Indian television for over a decade. However, the theme had a strong presence in Hindi cinema back in the 1980s. With Bollywood’s trend of reviving old themes in new-age formats, it is no surprise that a Naagin-inspired film is making a comeback—this time, with a comedic twist.
Kartik Aaryan Continues to Follow Akshay Kumar’s Footsteps
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Kartik Aaryan has taken over a project previously linked to Akshay Kumar. He successfully led the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, a sequel to Akshay’s 2007 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Now, with this latest project, fans are once again noticing the pattern of Kartik stepping into Akshay’s shoes for major Bollywood productions.
With a unique blend of fantasy, comedy, and nostalgia, this Naagin-themed film promises to bring something fresh to the big screen. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Kartik Aaryan and the talented team execute this exciting concept.Read more
