In the teaser we see the story of Dr Freddy Ginwala, a dentist whose life is a mystery. Kartik Aaryan’s character is described as “shy, lonely, honest, naïve, innocent, nervous, truthful, repulsive, conscious, and inciteful dentist” in the teaser. Kartik is seen treating the patients in a few scenes. In another shot, he can be seen dancing and sitting with a turtle by his side. A silhouette shot of a dead body being dragged around is also shown in the teaser. The teaser concludes with Dr. Freddy intensely staring at a patient and saying, “Sorry Sir, kept you waiting”.
Kartik Aryan took to his Instagram handle and shared his film’s Teaser video & captioned the post, “Welcome to the World of #Freddy Appointments open 2nd December 2022 #ReadyForFreddy !!”

The film, producer Ekta Kapoor, Balaji Telefilms, said, “This is the first time that Kartik Aaryan will be seen in a whole new avatar. We are excited to associate with Disney+ Hotstar and this has given Freddy a global platform, the audience can expect a roller coaster ride throughout the film”.
Producer Jay Shewakramani, Northern Lights Films, said, “‘Freddy’ is a film very close to my heart. We had an amazing time shooting it. When envisioning the film, we wanted to bring together several elements. At that time it felt like individually creating each jigsaw piece. But I am now proud to see that the pieces have come together perfectly and we have created a brilliant piece of cinema. I am grateful for the association with Disney+ Hotstar and taking the film to a global level”.
Director Shashanka Ghosh spoke about the film, “A romance, A betrayal, An ordinary man turns extraordinary is the story of ‘Freddy’. The power of ‘Freddy’ is its incredible writing of each character, sets and background music. This kind of treatment required strong actors such as Kartik Aaryan and Alaya F. I am so happy to have found Freddy and Kainaaz in them. With Kartik Aaryan’s character in the film, the fans are going to be blown away seeing him in a never seen before avatar. I am grateful for the opportunity that Balaji Telefilms, Northern Lights Films and Disney+ Hotstar has given me, I hope the audience enjoys the film”.
