One of them even told me that he had seen Holiday at least 27 times. And I couldn’t believe my ears,” says Freddy, who is currently shooting in Hyderabad for Telugu film Touch Chesi Chudu.

“Then there was this boy waiting for me outside the shooting venue. When I got time, I called him inside my [vanity] van and had a conversation with him over tea,” adds the actor.
