Directed by Rohit Dhawan, the film will release in February next year. It is the official Hindi remake of Allu Arjun's Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. Kartik also has Satya Prem Ki Katha alongside Kiara Advani in his kitty. He has also been roped in Aashiqui 3.
Fans had embraced Englund's Krueger as a villain, but turning the central antagonist into a child molester infused a disturbing reality into the storyline. The remake also lacked Krueger's trademark humor, and Bayer's intention to make Freddy less funny and scarier may be the reason he recast the role.
