Kartik Aaryan Had Disturbing Nights While Working On Freddy, Says His Friends Helped Him Cope
It won¡¯t be wrong to say that Kartik Aaryan¡¯s fandom is soaring by the day. The actor enjoys a massive following and his loyal fans look forward to his work with arms wide open. His upcoming release Freddy is the talk of the town these days as the trailer shows Aaryan in a never-seen-before role.?
From chocolate boy roles to playing an extremely dark character with many layers, the transition is something that many are looking forward to. However, it didn¡¯t come easy to him. As per the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actor, he got disturbing nights because of Freddy but he feels it was important to be focused on the bigger picture and tried to curtail his regular activities while shooting for the movie.
Talking about the same, he said,?
¡°I literally dwelled in the world of Freddy while shooting the film. It was important for me to remain in that headspace and go to the set and perform. I got disturbing nights because of ¡®Freddy¡¯ but it was important to be focused on the bigger picture and tried to curtail my regular activities while shooting Freddy so that I could focus on the film and the character.¡±
¡°Post the wrap, I connected with my friends and family who keep me grounded and that helped me return to reality and normalcy again,¡± he further added.
For the unversed, Kartik¡¯s Freddy is about the journey of Dr Freddy Ginwala, a shy, lonely and socially awkward person who loves playing with his miniature planes and the only friend he has is his pet turtle ¡®Hardy¡¯.
Interestingly, Kartik has also been making headlines ever since the news of him coming onboard the third installment of the hit franchise Here Pheri broke. Many assumed that he would take over the role of Akshay Kumar in the film as he is reportedly not a part of the project. This made way for many memes as people started calling Aaryan a ¡®replacement star¡¯ as he also starred in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which was also headlined by Akshay Kumar
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, when asked if he has seen memes doing the rounds where he is being called the ¡®replacement star¡¯ who might even replace Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, Kartik said,
¡°A lot of people sent it to me! I found it funny. You see it and you enjoy! I am happy¡ Sometimes it¡¯s good to not be ignored. I used to fear being ignored because I¡¯ve always been ignored. For the longest time and for years."
¡°But now is the time I feel it¡¯s tough to ignore me. I¡¯m happy. That fear doesn¡¯t come anymore. I¡¯m now quite out there, there are a lot of things happening in my life, sometimes it feels overwhelming but that¡¯s not in my hands. I¡¯m going with the flow,¡± he added.
