Kartik Aaryan and Ekta Kapoor's Freddy headed for a direct to digital release

"Freddy is an edge of the seat romantic thriller and the makers are using complex screenplay technique to explore the subject. The entire team, including Kartik, Ekta, and Shashanka feel that the subject is meant for the digital medium as that's where it will find its audience. In the pandemic times, experimental cinema might not get acceptance from audience on the big screen," shared a source with Bollywood Hungama.
