In more general form, question is that suppose there is person working for 5 years as freelancer and now he wants to join some reputed IT company, will the company still consider him as a fresher or can he enter direct to higher level position,say senior programmer?

Yes, but how does one "fast track" a career? How do you know that your experience isn't as useful until you have done it? How do you know that you are "repeating" versus getting the right amount of experience?
To me, a career on the fast track is determined by external factors -- it could be that a person is very very good, is recognized as performing miracles, and place on the fast track by some very high level person; it could be that the person is the son of the CEO. You can't just start performing miracles, or get yourself related to the CEO.

I'd argue that you have to have all those skills/motivation to be in a position to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

It may take some time, but it is possible. It may require changing jobs, meeting the right people, trying a different strategy, marketing yourself differently, taking the road less travelled, taking the necessary risks, etc.
