Kartik Aaryan-Led Naagzilla Not POSTPONED
A source told Mid-Day, “Ravi Kishan is also part of the ongoing schedule. In February, the crew will move to Delhi for the final leg, which will last about a month. Once that’s done, principal photography will be complete, and March will be dedicated to patch work.”
To ensure the film hits its August release, VFX work is being carried out alongside the shoot. “Since it’s a VFX-heavy project, the makers want everything to be perfect to deliver an immersive experience. Once filming wraps up, the team will assess the remaining work and the time needed to complete it,” added the source. This creature comedy marks Aaryan’s second collaboration with Dharma Productions, following the upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera, scheduled for 2025.
