Kartik Aaryan says ‘it was quite difficult’ as he gained 14 kilos for Freddy

Actor Kartik Aaryan gained immense appreciation after the viewers saw him in the Freddy trailer. However, did you know Kartik Aaryan gained 14 kilos for his role in Freddy? Just recently, celebrity fitness trainer Samir Jaura, who worked with Kartik through this transformation, shared that despite having a lean body, it was a task for him to gain extra kilos for the role.

Talking about his weight gain transformation, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actor said, “Freddy has been one of the most interesting and surprising scripts that I have 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 at 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.”

His celebrity trainer tells, “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.”
