Kartik always brings something fresh to the table! The motion poster looks 🔥 Can't wait to see how they blend fantasy with comedy. August 2026 is too far though 😩

Interesting concept but I hope they don't make it too cheesy. Bollywood fantasy films sometimes miss the mark. Still, rooting for Kartik - he's proven his versatility!

"Naag lok ka pehla kaand" 😂 Kartik's caption game is strong! The shirtless look is giving major Nagraj comics vibes. Hope the movie does justice to the concept.

Not sure how I feel about this yet... The Fukrey director is great with comedy but fantasy is a different ballgame. Will wait for the trailer before getting excited.

Finally some originality in Bollywood! Tired of remakes and biopics. This could be India's answer to superhero movies if done right. All the best to the team!

The motion poster looks amazing but I'm worried about the CGI quality. Indian films often struggle with fantasy creature effects. Hope they invest properly in the VFX budget!
