Kartik Aaryan: Freddy not a conventional Bollywood hero

In a recent media interview, Kartik Aaryan spoke about his character in his upcoming film Freddy. The actor thinks that his character in Freddy is not a conventional Bollywood hero but with dark undertones.

"The character is dark -- he is not your conventional Bollywood hero. You wouldn't consider him a hero at all. My character in Freddy helped me explore a different side of my craft and encouraged me to challenge my abilities at every step as an actor," Aaryan said.

Sharing his excitement about being part of the film, the actor said: "It's different. It's gripping. It's a dark thriller that's been missing for a while. Freddy leaves you at the edge of your seat at every corner. It's a very special film to me, and I hope audiences appreciate the effort and everything we've attempted to do with the film."

Freddy is about the journey of Dr. Freddy Ginwala (Aaryan), who is a shy, lonely and socially awkward person who loves playing with his miniature planes, the only friend he has is his pet turtle Hardy.

Produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd., NH Studioz and Northern Lights Films, and directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the film stars Alaya F as the female lead. Freddy will be released on Disney+ Hotstar on December 2.
