Kartik Aaryan’s highly anticipated creature comedy Naagzilla is generating buzz once again, this time for its intriguing casting possibilities. In a thrilling new update, either Anil Kapoor or Bobby Deol is reportedly being considered to take on the role of the film’s antagonist.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The script of Naagzilla warrants the presence of a senior actor in a negative role. Karan Johar has short-listed two names for the role – Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol – and now, Kartik will take the final casting call for Naagzilla. The entire cast of Naagzilla is being decided collaboratively, and Karan will now indulge in a discussion with Kartik and Mahaveer Jain to lock the antagonist.”
The source added, “It’s a tale of Icchadhari Naagin, and the villains’ role is as important as that of a hero. Hence, the team is being cautious of who they lock for the film,” the source tells us further.”
The film, produced by Karan Johar and Mahaveer Jain and directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, will see the beloved actor in a double role.
Naagzilla will release on August 14, 2026.
