Kartik Aaryan's Naagzilla Poster Gets Trolled As Netizens Find Out A Big Cheat: 'This Is Embarrassing'
Kartik Aaryan's Naagzilla poster, produced by Dharma Productions, faced criticism for reusing an old Instagram photo.

When Kartik Aaryan released the poster of his next movie Naagzilla, he left everyone excited with his Ichadaari (shape‑shifting) Naag. However, days after, social media users have now called out the poster, pointing out that it used an old photo from the actor’s own Instagram account. This raised suspicions about the authenticity and intentions behind the poster.
A Reddit user shared an old Instagram photo of Kartik Aaryan, which looked very similar to the Naagzilla poster. “So Dharma reused Kartik’s old Instagram post for their movie poster. KJo’s team seems to have stopped putting in effort," the user wrote.

The similarity sparked criticism, with the users questioning Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and accusing them of not putting in efforts in the making of the poster. “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," one of the users 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," another person wrote. “Its so embarrassing," a third comment read.
Produced by Karan Johar, Mahaveer Jain, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, and Sujit Jain – Naagzilla promises to be a one-of-a-kind entertainer that blends fantasy, folklore, and full-on fun. Not much details about the film’s plot have been revealed as of now.
Naagzilla will be released in theatres on August 14, 2026.
