As Freddy marks its two-year anniversary since its premiere on Disney+ Hotstar, actress Alaya F reminisced about her experience of working on the psychological thriller. The 2022 film, directed by Shashanka Ghosh and starring Kartik Aaryan in the titular role, won critical acclaim for its gripping narrative and intense performances. In a recent exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Alaya shared her thoughts on the film and its enduring legacy.

“Freddy Was Such a Special Experience”
Alaya expressed her deep attachment to the project, saying, “Freddy was just such a special experience. I had such a great time on that film, and it’s a film that’s so special to me.” She also reflected on her character’s fate, adding, “I feel so sad that I died at the end of Freddy. Otherwise, I would have been in the sequel, if there’s one. I won’t get to be in it. So that sucks, but it is a film that I loved, and the audience also really enjoyed it.”
The Lasting Impact of Freddy
The actress revealed that the film continues to resonate with audiences. “Till today, every time I go out somewhere, so many people come up to me and mention Freddy. It’s great to have done something that stays with people. The comments I get on every post I put up on Instagram—at least one will say, ‘Hardy ko maarna nahi chahiye tha (Shouldn’t have killed Hardy)’ or ‘Aapke daant wapas aa gaye? (Did your teeth grow back?)’”
For context, in one of the film’s most chilling scenes, Kartik Aaryan’s Freddy removes Alaya F’s character’s teeth without anesthesia before killing her. This scene, Alaya noted, has become a part of pop culture, saying, “Something just really stuck, I guess. I’m always reminded of Freddy.”
Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Jay Shewakramani, Freddy is celebrated for its exploration of dark themes and Aaryan’s transformative performance.
