‘Freddy’: Kartik Aaryan gained 14 kgs for the movie; trainer says he has done a ‘fantastic job’

Kartik Aaryan’s next film ‘Freddy’ is all set to release on Disney+ Hotstar on December 2. It turns out that the actor physically transformed himself to play the role of the innocent yet manic dentist, Freddy Ginwala.

Celebrity fitness trainer Samir Jaura, who worked with Kartik through this transformation, told Hindustan Times, ‘Kartik is someone with a genetically lean body. So, when he was required to gain around 14 kilos for Freddy, we knew it was going to be a task. But, his dedication is next level! He was able to achieve the look well in time, following disciplined routine workouts and the right diet plan. Putting on kilos requires a well supervised process, because it is not just simply the shredding of muscles or getting ripped. He has done a fantastic job and the look came perfectly for the film.’

Kartik too talked about his role in the movie and said that ‘Freddy’ has been one of the most interesting and surprising scripts that he has ever read.

‘When I saw that I would also be required to gain weight for the role, among other preparations, I just wasn’t able to worry in that moment because I was so excited to play this character. And it was quite difficult, trying to put on so much weight altogether. But, under Samir’s training, we achieved the goal in time and gladly, the entire team loved the final look,’ Kartik Aaryan told Hindustan Times.

The teaser of ‘Freddy’ was released on November 7 and it left everyone impressed.
Besides ‘Freddy’, Kartik Aaryan has ‘Shehzada’, ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’, ‘Aashiqui 3’ and Kabir Khan’s untitled project in his kitty.
