Actor Kartik Aaryan is all set to star in the forthcoming romantic thriller, Freddy. By Team Viva
Who is Freddy, you might ask? This introduction needs a drum roll or rather some suspenseful staccato played at a steadily increasing pace.
Producer Ekta Kapoor, in collaboration with Jay Shewakramani, is all set to kickstart their next production, Freddy. The film, directed by Shashanka Ghosh, is a romantic thriller starring Kartik Aaryan in the titular role.
Incidentally, Shashanka’s last outing Veere Di Wedding with Balaji Telefilms was a super-hit and now they’re teaming up again. Full of unpredictable twists and sharp turns, characters in this movie are set to take us on a dark and chilling roller coaster ride, where the lines between love and obsession blur! Freddy is jointly produced by Balaji Telefilms and Northern Lights Films.
Ekta, who’s known for genre-bending content is excited as the movie is all set to go on floors. “I’m thrilled to have Kartik on board. His choices of the subject have always been unique and this one is no different and collaborating with Jayu makes it even more special,” she says.
Jay adds, “It is the first time I am collaborating with Ekta and Kartik on a film and for it to be on a script like this, makes it all the more exciting! Freddy is a script we worked on incessantly and we can’t wait for Shashanka to bring to life these crazy characters!”
Speaking about the movie, an ecstatic Kartik shares, “As an actor, I crave to explore different facades of entertainment and with Freddy, I’m venturing into an uncharted territory which is both exciting and intriguing in equal measures. I look forward to marking my presence in Freddy's world and bring alive this dark romantic thriller. This will be my first collaboration with a visionary like Ekta Kapoor and creative forces such as Jay and Shahshanka. Couldn’t have asked for a better team on this new journey.”
The director, Shashanka, further adds, “As a filmmaker, there is a lot to play with the genre, like a thriller. I am more than excited to work with an incredible team on a project as inspiring as Freddy. I am sure that the film is going to be one of the best thrilling cinematic experiences for the audience across the nation.”
