Froakie (filmmaker)

Jaikant Shikre (जयकांत शिकरे) (March 26, 1965-July 22, 2011, aged 46), known as Froakie, is an Indian non-narrative filmmaker. He is considered to be one of the most important figures in 20th-century experimental film. He made more than 150 experimental films.

Arrest and death
On July 22, 2011, Froakie has been making too many experimental films. After retiring from acting, Froakie sends transfer orders to Singham to go back to Shivgarh within 24 hours. That night at a police function organized for the officers with their family, Singham confronts the officers for not abiding by their duties and being dishonest and unfaithful to their profession by protecting Froakie. At first, the officers disagree with Singham, but filled with guilt, the officers decide to help Singham fight Froakie. Soon, the entire Goa Police Force reach his home to kill him, with DGP Pawar and DSP Patkar, now in support of Singham. Froakie eventually escapes but after running through the city, he is arrested by the police the next morning. They bring him to the police station and shoot him dead on the same chair where Inspector Rakesh Kadam had shot himself. Then they threaten Shiva to change his statement.

Aftermath and discovery
On October 12, 2013, Jaikant's body was discovered. He was transformed into Froakie, being as a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
