In his Instagram post, Kartik shared the details of his fitness journey, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs he faced over the past year and a half. He wrote, "From 39% body fat to 7% body fat !! From being an ‘insomniac’ to turning into a ‘fitness enthusiast’, it’s surely a journey of one and a half years to remember for me."
Kartik's transformation was not just physical but also a testament to his mental and emotional resilience. He shared how embodying the life of Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold medalist in freestyle swimming, profoundly impacted him. "The life of the living legend Mr. Murlikant Petkar not only made me a stronger human being but also, further instilled the belief that if you can dream it, then you can achieve it... nothing is impossible," he expressed.
In a lighter vein, Kartik added, "Pehle mummy kehti thi, ‘beta gym jao’ lekin aaj kal haalaat aise hain ki unhe call karke bolna padta hai, ‘beta gym se vapas aa jao’," highlighting the extent of his dedication to fitness.
Directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, 'Chandu Champion' tells the inspiring tale of Chandu, a determined athlete who overcomes incredible odds. Kartik Aaryan stars in the titular role, bringing the story of Murlikant Petkar to life on the big screen. Petkar's journey from being a soldier who sustained severe injuries in the 1965 India-Pakistan war to becoming a Paralympic champion is one of sheer resilience and determination.
Set to release on June 14, 'Chandu Champion' aims to engage and inspire audiences with its compelling narrative of grit and perseverance. Kartik's dedication to his role, as evidenced by his dramatic physical transformation, adds an authentic layer to the portrayal of Petkar's incredible journey.
