Ever since Alaya F’s debut with Jawaani Jaaneman, she has made the critics notice her. The young actress has been away from the silver screen post that, however with Freddy, she is set to achieve newer heights of success.
Freddy has an interesting plot where the titular role played by Kartik Aaryan sees him as a socially-awkward guy whose only friend is his pet turtle Hardy. Alaya F has an interesting role as well in this story which is filled with twists and turns.
Commenting on how Freddy helped her come out of her comfort zone and stop playing it safe, she says, “The last three years for me have been just about working on projects and wrapping them up. And now that they have been shot, I am really excited for the audiences to see them. I feel like a whole new journey for me is beginning and it feels so fresh, I’m full of nerves and full of excitement. I feel the same way I felt before my first film was released. I want to jump at every opportunity and I feel like I have so much to prove. I just want to do really good, honest work. I’ll always experiment with genres and projects so I hope I just get wonderful opportunities that can further my journey. I hope people take note of how different Freddy is from my first and how I’ve consistently tried to avoid “playing it safe.” I’m just grateful I get to act my way into people’s lives though films again and I’m even more grateful that it’s through a special film like Freddy.”
Freddy is slated to release on December 2 on a leading OTT platform.
