About Chandu Champion
The Bollywood movie is a biographical sports drama based on the inspiring story of India’s first Paralympic gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar. Kabir Khan wrote and directed the film, which was produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. It was filmed in London, Wai, Jammu and Kashmir.
Previously, Kartik discussed the significant challenges he encountered while preparing for his role as Chandu in the film.
“For me, it was incredibly challenging and discomforting. Swimming and boxing were never something I imagined doing. Combining all these elements in one film was demanding, and I had to learn them all professionally because my opponents were all professionals–wrestlers, swimmers, or real boxers. Matching their level was tough, so I worked really hard. This is the toughest role of my career,” he said.
Speaking about the intensity of his preparation, Kartik said, “This has been a life-changing role for me, and I am genuinely proud of this film. I just hope that people come to the theatres to watch this film. And I believe, as I’ve said before, that this is the toughest film and role of my career. As you may have seen in the trailer, hard work is evident.”
