  • Inspired by the book ‘Freaky Friday,’ written by Mary Rodgers, the film ‘Freakier Friday’ is all set to hit the theatres again with its sequel this August. After 2003’s Freaky Friday, which was a classic comedy-fantasy, Nisha Ganatra has now given a fresh perspective to the film, along with the help of the writers Jordan Weiss and Ellyse Hollander. Tess Coleman, a single mother, and Anna Coleman, her daughter, faced body swapping in 2003, and this sequel adds a new character to this family drama.

    The film is now renamed as ‘Freakier Friday,’ which revolves around the beautiful bond of a mother-daughter duo who have completely different personalities and find their ways to understand each other. There is quadruple body swapping in the new version, as Anna Coleman has a daughter now! The film becomes exciting as they figure out how to find a solution to this sudden change in their personalities and deal with the traits that once drove them crazy. The newer version adds a bit more of a freakier touch to the film as it delivers triple the fun, drama, and emotion, as the wave of identity crises may hit the family again.
