Freddy Daruwala reveals that he has a lot in common with mentor-friend John Abraham, with whom he shares screen space in Abhinay Deo's Force 2. Not only do both of them have Parsi connections — John's mother, Firoza Irani, is a Bawi while Freddy was born in a Parsi family in Surat — they also have an irreverent sense of humour about it. They are avid bikers, fitness enthusiasts and started out as models. And while the duo bonded over their roots, it was over two pegs of whiskey that they actually hit it off.
"John and I were constantly talking in Gujarati with Vipul sir (Vipul Amrutlal Shah, producer). For a scene, John and I had to sit across from each other and drink alcohol. Both of us are teetotallers but John joked in Gujarati, 'Haal ne daaru piye,' and everyone burst out laughing," Freddy recalls, adding that by the end of the sequence everyone was drunk and the two actors kept laughing long after the shot was over.
Freddy and John also shot for the film in Thailand, China and Mumbai but did not have any scenes with the leading lady, Sonakshi Sinha. "The sequel takes off exactly where the first film ended but the premise has changed drastically. I'm sure if there's a third part, I'd be in that too," Freddy beams.
Next, the 32-year-old actor will be shooting for a song for Deven Bhojwani-directed Commando 2, in which he plays the antagonist but confirms that his character is a lot more complex than the quintessential villain. "Even though I tend to feature in action films a lot, and the Die Hard series is my all time favourite action franchise, I'd love to be a part of a comedy-dramas like Andaaz Apna Apna or Hera Pheri," he reveals.
Freddy had made his Bollywood debut as the antagonist in the AR Murugadoss's Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty and is looking forward to playing many such meaty roles. He will also be seen as a suave lawyer in Mia - Ek Umeed, a drug drama which marks the directorial debut of Rajat Mukherjee.
He also hopes to have a flourishing musical career soon. "I play the drums and enjoy all kinds of music. You never know, I might just crossover from playing baddie to featuring in a romantic musical," he signs off.
