Kartik Aaryan’s career is moving in unexpected and very exciting ways. And the best is yet to come. He now plays an ichhaadhaari naag-a snake that can assume any form, including human in Naagzilla: Naag Lok Ka Pehla Kaand.

Karan Johar, the master planner that he is, intends to extend Kartik Aaryan’s Naagzilla avatar into a full-fledged franchise.“As soon as the first Naagzilla film is launched, the pre-production for the next film in the series will start. Kartik will be the only constant in the series. The rest of the cast and crew will change in every instalment,” a source close to the development informed.
