Freddy Daruwala as Karim Lala?

Freddy Daruwal and Karim Lala

After playing negative characters in Holiday (2014), Commando 2 (2017) and Race 3, Freddy Daruwala is set to play antagonist again. The actor has apparently been approached to play Karim Lala in a biopic on the late underworld don. Daruwala, who is shooting for a Gujarati film in Ahmedabad, will start research on the character as soon as he wraps up the ongoing schedule.

Freddy Daruwala, who was last seen in Salman Khan starrer Race 3, says working in a big budget film gives new actors greater mileage. Asked if acting in a multi-starrer gives him tough time to get any solo lead film, Freddy told IANS, "I keep getting different kind of films, but I am very choosy about what I pick up. As a newcomer like me, I am offered two kinds of works, one that gives me money, and another that builds my career. I would definitely go for the later because bigger films give me more visibility and mileage."

The actor further added, "I started my career in 2014 and in the span of four years, I have done eight films, including regional and independent films. But people only can recall my screen presence from those big budget films. Hopefully, I will reach to a point in my career from where I will be able to combine both kinds of films."
