Kartik Aaryan’s latest release, Chandu Champion, has garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success since its release on June 14, 2024. The sports biopic, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Kabir Khan, continues to perform well at the box office despite stiff competition from Kalki 2898 AD.
In a recent Instagram post, Kartik Aaryan shared a behind-the-scenes video, offering fans a glimpse into the making of the film.
Kartik Aaryan Feels Glad Chandu Champion Happened
In the video, Kartik, who portrays Murlikant Petkar, and director Kabir Khan reflect on their experiences during the shoot. Kartik captioned the post, “Some characters you play touch your heart and soul and then change your life forever. For me, it was playing the Champion Murlikant Petkar Ji. And I couldn’t have asked for a better taskmaster than @kabirkhankk sir who held my hand in this unforgettable journey #ChanduChampion in Theatres.”
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala expressed his excitement about the film, stating, “There are some films which you are desperately waiting for, like the day you announce the film, you want the world to see the film.”
Kartik Aaryan also shared his thoughts on the film, saying, “It’s a sort of unsung story and a story of heroism about which somehow, nobody knew. Because this story is very inspiring and very moving. It’s a story of human willpower. So, it will inspire many people to achieve their dreams and I am glad Chandu Champion happened.”
He added, “It has an entire character graph from 16 to 17 years to the age of 70 years. It was necessary to know how he is behaving at this time and specifically during the old age, how he is behaving at that time and on that, how Kabir sir was directing. Second thing, we had workshops.”
Actor Reveals Getting Teary-Eyed During An Emotional Scene
Kartik also shared a particularly emotional moment during filming, “I think it started from there when Kabir sir wanted an emotional sequence, specifically during the winning moment. It was indeed a crying moment for me and it got captured, and it’s a beautiful moment. That’s the day when he actually saw the emotional side of me as an actor.”
Kabir Khan Praises Kartik Aaryan
Director Kabir Khan praised Kartik’s performance, saying, “From my interaction with him and a few films that I had seen of him, I knew he would be able to pull it off.”
He continued, “As a director, what we look at is basically, can I push him or her into a certain zone for my character, I got it from Kartik.”
Kabir also highlighted the challenge of working with Kartik, known for his comedic timing and light-hearted romantic roles, “He is famous for his comic timing, he is famous for his light-hearted romantic films and all that, but here was a film which is completely different from anything he had ever done. And that’s where the challenge and the thrill come from. To push him and, in a certain sense, reinvent and present a very well-known star in a completely different light. When you don’t expect this person to be doing this, but they deliver that, I think Kartik has done exactly that.”
Chandu Champion, jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Kabir Khan, continues to inspire audiences and set new benchmarks in storytelling. The film is a testament to the power of human resilience and determination.
