For his character as a dentist in his upcoming movie, "Freddy," actor Kartik Aaryan had to gain additional weight.?He reportedly put on 14 kg for the movie, in which Alaya F also stars.
"This is the Origin Story of #Freddy, which put me under a lot of physical strain and sleepless nights, Seldom come such opportunities where we get to showcase a completely different side, and Freddy is that character," he wrote on Instagram.
"Dedication next level. Kudos," a netizen wrote.
"Freddy was a complex script and character; the prep for the role had to be done physically and mentally. The character helped me explore a different side of my craft and encouraged me to challenge my abilities at every step as an actor. The first time I got to explore the dark side of myself. I am glad to be a part of Freddy and excited to see the audience¡¯s reaction to the film."
The teaser shows Kartik as the ¡®lonely, naive, nervous, honest, introvert, shy¡¯ dentist, among many more qualities of the actor¡¯s character. He is seen treating patients in a clinic in the daytime. At night, he turns into a murderer and drags a body into a forest.
Helmed by Shashanka Ghosh, ¡®Freddy¡¯ will be out on December 2 on Disney+ Hotstar.
