Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan has once again grabbed attention for his packed work schedule and back-to-back projects. After the underwhelming box-office performance of Tu Meri, Main Tera, Main Tera, Tu Meri, Kartik is now focusing on multiple upcoming films. He is currently associated with Anurag Basu’s musical drama opposite Sreeleela, though the release timeline of that project remains unclear. At the same time, Kartik has been busy with his creature comedy Naagzilla, which is nearing completion.

Amid all this, reports recently surfaced that Kartik temporarily paused work on Naagzilla and flew to Kashmir to shoot for another major film. The actor was spotted shooting in the scenic valleys of Pahalgam, sparking curiosity among fans about which project pulled him away mid-schedule and which director he decided to collaborate with again.

Interestingly, Kartik has reunited with filmmaker Kabir Khan, with whom he previously worked in Chandu Champion. According to industry reports, Kartik has completed the first schedule of Kabir Khan’s upcoming film in Kashmir. Although the title of the film has not yet been officially announced, it is said to be a sports drama produced by Applause Entertainment. The visuals from the shoot have already gone viral, adding to the buzz surrounding the project.

The team is expected to resume shooting for the second schedule in March. However, Kartik is not taking any downtime between schedules. He is reportedly using this gap to return to Naagzilla and complete its remaining shoot. The creature comedy is being directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and is backed by Dharma Productions along with Mahavir Jain Films.

With films lined up across different genres—from sports drama and musical romance to fantasy comedy—Kartik Aaryan’s busy schedule clearly reflects his intent to bounce back stronger and solidify his position among Bollywood’s leading stars.
