Karan Johar's Dharma Productions recently announced a film titled Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role. On Tuesday, the filmmaker revealed a motion poster featuring Aaryan. However, many social media users quickly pointed out that the poster was created using an old photo from the actor's Instagram account. A Reddit user shared an old Instagram photo of Aaryan, showing him from behind as he gazes at a scenic view—strikingly similar to the image used in the Naagzilla poster. The Reddit post's caption read, 'So Dharma basically reused Kartik's old Instagram post to make the official poster of their next movie. KJo and his team really have stopped putting in efforts.' So dharma basically re used Kartik's old Instagram post to make the official poster of their next movie 😂 kjo and his team really have stopped putting in efforts byu/NoProfessionn inBollyBlindsNGossip Another Reddit user blamed AI technology and wrote under the post, 'When will this AI epidemic leave the design industry? Literally all movie posters have started looking the same and overly artificial because of this AI overuse.' Another person commented, 'This is absolutely wild. They were so rushed to announce their lousy project, they couldn't even schedule a dedicated shoot. The poster and visuals look unbelievably bad for a 2025 title. It's downright nonsense, and the name is a joke.' A comment read,' Unironically one of the funniest things I have seen.' 'Its so embarrassing,' a person commented. While sharing the poster of Naagzilla on Instagram, Dharma Productions wrote in the caption, 'Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh li, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar! #Naagzilla – Naag lok ka pehla kaand… Funnn phailaane aa raha hai – Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand… Naag Panchami par aapke nazdeeki Sssssinemas mein – 14 August 2026 ko!

Naagzilla: Kartik Aaryan to lead Karan Johar's fantasy thriller; fans ask ‘Is this an April Fool's joke?'
Karan Johar has unveiled a new project that marks a notable shift from the typical Dharma Productions slate. Titled Naagzilla, the film will feature Kartik Aaryan in the lead role and is set for release on August 14, 2026. The movie will be helmed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, best known for directing the popular Fukrey series. Karan Johar shared the motion poster of Naagzilla on Instagram, offering a glimpse into its gritty, fantastical world. The poster features a shirtless Kartik Aaryan standing in a snake-infested lair, gazing out at a city skyline. Clad only in blue jeans, his body bears scaly, green, snake-like skin, hinting at the supernatural twist in his character. The caption read, 'Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh li, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar! #Naagzilla - Naag lok ka pehla kaand… Funnn phailaane aa raha hai - Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand… Naag Panchami par aapke nazdeeki Sssssinemas mein - 14 August 2026 ko (Seen too many movies about humans?

Many even got flashbacks to Ekta Kapoor's hit TV serial, Naagin. 'The Ektafication of Dharma Productions. Such are the times!!' Another wrote, '@ektarkapoor ke pet pe laat (You are taking away Ekta Kapoor's employment).' Others asked Karan to get his early 2000s groove back on and make more realistic, hopeful movies. 'Noooo please… I miss your good movies era @karanjohar .. K2H2, K3G, KANK, Kapoor & Sons. Done with period drama and no sense movie,' said a fan. ' 'Is this an April Fool's joke," asked another. A bunch of fans also noticed how far ahead the release date actually is. 'Badi jaldi bata dia shayad (Told us too soon),' said a fan. '2026 ? Too early on announce i guess.'
