Starring Kartik Aaryan (in the title role) and Alaya F, the film premiered 2 December 2022 on Disney+ Hotstar.

His only friend is his pet tortoise, Hardy, and he also spends his leisure time working on his miniature planes.

Freddy kills him by running him over with his car and goes straight to his farmhouse in Karjat and stays there for a week, also getting the damaged vehicle repaired.

The next day, they find that someone has posted an online review of her restaurant, complaining of a lizard being found in the food, tarnishing its reputation.

An eyewitness to Rustom's murder reveals Freddy's car number to the police, though he had not seen the driver's face.

As Freddy buries Kainaaz (who was miraculously still alive after the teeth extraction), he tells her a final joke, saying he "still loves her."

The movie was officially announced in July 2021 starring Kartik Aaryan and directed by Shashanka Ghosh under the production of Ekta Kapoor and Jay Shewakramani.
