Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan, and Bhediya 2, starring Varun Dhawan, are both preparing for an Independence Day 2026 box office clash, and rumours are circulating that the two actors may soon swap roles and become co-stars. Mid Day reports that Dhawan and Aaryan are vying for the lead role in the upcoming sequel to the 2004 comedy Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (which featured Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar), which was a giant hit with audiences.
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi to get a sequel
David Dhawan and Sajid Nadiadwala's feature (watch Judwaa) was a financial triumph, and audiences still discuss how funny it was about two men vying for Priyanka Chopra Jonas' hand in marriage. It has been rumoured that the producer is preparing to revive the chaos—this time with a new spin— for an audience that is more than twenty years old.
An industry insider informed the tabloid that Nadiadwala is eager to revive the comedic turmoil of the original while adding a modern twist. The leading stars for the parts are Kartik and Varun (watch Badlapur), who both have impeccable comedic timing. It would be hilarious to see them onscreen together. However, the producer will decide on casting after he is satisfied with the screenplay since the scripting process has only just started.
Casting not final yet
Fans are ecstatic about the potential merger of the two actors known for their comic roles, but the source warned that nothing is final just yet. Due to their hectic schedules, it will be difficult to coordinate Kartik and Varun's dates. The target release date is set for late 2026.
As their working relationship develops, the prospect of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi 2 becomes fascinating. Their onscreen chemistry has the potential to be a giant moneymaker, given their respective successes in the comic and commercial entertainment industries.
A final cast announcement is anticipated before the year ends, as scripting for the sequel is already in progress. Fans will eagerly await the highly anticipated box office battle between Bhediya 2 and Naagzilla in August 2026.
