"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
are
all
set
to
kickstart
their
next
production,
Freddy.
The
film
is
a
romantic
thriller
starring
Kartik
Aaryan
in
the
titular
role.
Freddy
goes
on
floors
on
1st
August
in
Mumbai
and
is
directed
by
Shashanka
Ghosh.
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.
Speaking
about
the
film,
an
ecstatic
Kartik
Aaryan
says,
"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
dwell
in
the
world
of
Freddy
and
bring
alive
this
dark
romantic
thriller.
It
also
marks
my
first
collaboration
with
a
visionary
like
Ekta
Kapoor
and
creatives
forces
like
Jay
and
Shahshanka.
Couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
team
on
this
new
journey."
Ekta
Kapoor,
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
subject
have
always
been
unique
and
this
one
is
no
different.
I'm
excited
to
take
the
audience
into
this
dark,
delicious
world.
Collaborating
with
Jay
makes
it
even
more
special!',
she
said
in
an
official
statement.
Producer
Jay
Shewakramani
added,
"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!"
Director
Shashanka
Ghosh
concluded,
"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

be
one
of
the
best
thrilling
cinematic
experiences
for
the
audience
across
the
