I'm venturing into an uncharted territory that is both exciting and intriguing in equal measures. I look forward to dwell in the world of Freddy and bring alive this dark romantic thriller, the actor said in a statement.

Freddy marks the Luka Chuppi actor's first collaboration with Kapoor, Shewakramani and Ghosh.

Kapoor said she is excited to start the work on the film, which goes on floors here on Sunday.

I'm thrilled to have Kartik on board. His choices of subject have always been unique and this one is no different. Collaborating with Jay makes it even more special."

Ghosh, who has previously worked with Kapoor on Veere Di Wedding, said the team wants to give the audience a "thrilling" cinematic experience with Freddy.

As a filmmaker, there is a lot to play with the genre, like a thriller. I am sure that the film is going to be one of the best thrilling cinematic experiences for the audience across the nation, he said.

Shewakramani said he is happy to have joined hands with Kapoor and Aaryan.

Besides Freddy, Aaryan is also working in Ram Madhvani-directed action-thriller Dhamaka, Anees Bazmee's horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and action-drama Captain India, to be helmed by Hansal Mehta.
