Taran Adarsh reasons why releasing the Kartik Aaryan starrer Freddy on OTT was apt; says, “Was a very good and wise decision”

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, when Taran Adarsh was asked if Kartik Aaryan’s Freddy was to be released in theatres and not on OTT platform, would it have been a bad situation for the film, to which the film critic replied, “I wouldn’t say bad situation, rather I feel it would have performed decently at the opening considering Kartik Aaryan’s popularity. Freddy was apt for OTT platform and was a very good and wise decision made”.

Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the film sees Freddy’s life change drastically after he crosses paths with the beautiful Kainaaz Irani. Talking about Kartik Aaryan’s another hit film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Taran Adarsh stated, “For certain films, producers themself realize whether they should put a film in theatres or sell it to the OTT platforms. Bhool Bhulaiyas 2 was fantastic in terms of numbers. 14 crores of opening for Kartik Aaryan is huge. The film remained at number one position for quite a few weeks”.

Further sharing his inputs on which OTT film would have done better if it released in theatres, Taran added, “In current times, OTT platform people have also become very smart. They ask the makers of the film to put the film in theatres first and only then they will take it on their OTT platform. But I feel if films like Govinda Naam Mera were to release in theatres, then I am not saying it would have been a blockbuster, but it might have worked decently well in theatres. Even before this, Dharma had made a film, Shershaah which would have done extremely well in the theatres”.

Kartik Aaryan will next be seen in Shehzada in February. The film will see Rohit Dhawan in the director’s chair.
