Kartik Aaryan Starrer Naagzilla Postponed; Makers Announce Valentine’s Weekend 2027 As New Release Date

Kartik Aaryan’s much-anticipated fantasy comedy Naagzilla has a new release date. The makers have pushed the film from its earlier Independence Day weekend slot and now plan to release it on February 12, 2027, aligning with Valentine’s Day weekend. The shift changes the film’s positioning, as it now aims to tap into a more romantic and youth-driven audience base alongside its fantasy-comedy appeal.

Earlier, the film was scheduled to hit theatres on August 14, 2026. However, the new date also helps it avoid a box office clash with Sunny Deol’s Lahore 1947, which is set to release a day earlier on August 13. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and backed by Aamir Khan’s production house, that film already occupies the festive window. As a result, Naagzilla now gets a clearer runway with its revised release plan.
