Last seen in the Imtiaz Ali directorial Love Aaj Kal (2020), Kartik Aaryan has several high-profile films on his platter right now. While he has already wrapped up the major chunks of Dharma Productions’ Dostana 2 and T-Series Films’ Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the actor will commence the first shooting schedule of his next Dhamaka from next week. The actor took to Twitter to announce the same.
Dhamaka sees Kartik Aaryan in a never seen before avatar. He plays the character of an investigative journalist in the movie. Known for portraying light-hearted roles in his previous outings, the actor is going to play an intense and gritty character for the first time in his career. Ram Madhvani is calling the shots for the forthcoming project.
Spilling some more beans, a source close to the development tells an online publication, “It is a subject that Kartik loved in the first narration and instantly allotted his dates to Madhvani. It is a different space for Kartik, who so far is synonymous with rom-coms, and he is all charged up to embark on this new journey.”
The source goes on to reveal that Dhamaka is a nail-biting thriller, inspired by a Korean classic. “The film is a nail-biting thriller, inspired by a Korean classic. However, the details have been kept under wraps,” adds the source.
The film will hit the shooting floor soon for a schedule of 45 to 50 days. The makers are looking at wrapping it up in a start-to-finish schedule. “In-fact, it will be ready before his already on floors films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2. It will most probably release during summer 2021,” the source signs off.

Lee Pace joins the voice cast of Prime Video’s Invincible as Thragg in Season 4.
Thragg is the Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire and the most powerful Viltrumite.
Season 4, due March 2026, sets the stage for the ultimate conflict between Mark Grayson and the Viltrumites.
Lee Pace joins as Invincible’s ultimate villain
Prime Video has confirmed that Lee Pace will voice Thragg, the Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire, in Invincible Season 4. The announcement was made during a panel at New York Comic Con, which also featured a new teaser for the Burger Mart scenes and confirmed the series’ March 2026 release window.
Thragg is the mastermind behind key characters such as Omni-Man, Anissa, and Conquest. As one of the few survivors of the Viltrumite Civil War, he is dedicated to restoring the empire’s dominance. Superior strength, near-immortality, flight, invulnerability, and advanced healing make Thragg the most formidable threat the series has yet faced.
What Thragg means for Mark Grayson and Earth
Season 3 saw Mark Grayson defeat Conquest, the second most powerful Viltrumite, signalling his choice to resist the empire rather than follow his father’s path. Thragg’s arrival elevates the stakes dramatically. Every conflict from this point will centre on Mark’s efforts to mount a credible defence against the Viltrumites, both on Earth and across the galaxy.
Series creator Robert Kirkman said at NYCC, “Thragg is a monumental addition to the show, who is going to change everything you think you know about the Invincible universe.” Lee Pace described Thragg as a patient but violent character, whose awareness of his power and strategic mind make him a uniquely formidable adversary.
Although Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season, Thragg’s debut marks the start of the series’ true endgame. Mark’s earlier battles were preparation; now the narrative expands to include a larger resistance against the Viltrumites, with Earth playing a central role. Fans can also expect greater involvement from characters such as Anissa and an epic showdown between Thragg and one of Earth’s other powerful metahumans, though specifics remain under wraps.
With Thragg now in play, the series gains momentum, and Mark faces his greatest challenge yet: defending his home and allies against the most dangerous Viltrumite of all.
