Karan Johar, shared the trailer of Kartik Aaryan’s movie Chandu Champion
Kartik Aaryan‘s upcoming film “Chandu Champion,” directed by Kabir Khan, has generated significant buzz with its recently released trailer. The movie, which tells the inspirational true story of India’s first Paralympic gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar, has already received praise from notable Bollywood figures, including filmmaker Karan Johar.
Karan Johar, who shared the trailer on his Instagram stories, expressed his admiration for the project, stating, “The blood, sweat, and tears are evident in every frame of this ambitious and heartfelt true story! All my love and big success to Kartik Aaryan, Kabir Khan, and Sajid Nadiadwala”. This endorsement is particularly noteworthy given the past tension between Johar and Aaryan over “Dostana 2,” which had previously led to a fallout.
Kartik Aaryan responded to Johar’s praise by sharing the story and expressing his gratitude, acknowledging how much the recognition meant to him. The trailer has also been supported by other Bollywood celebrities, including Katrina Kaif, who expressed her excitement for the film on social media.
Director Kabir Khan highlighted Aaryan‘s dedication to the role, noting his physical transformation from having 39% body fat to just 7% without using steroids, showcasing the actor’s commitment to authentically portraying the athlete.
“Chandu Champion” is set to release on June 14, 2024, and marks a significant project in Aaryan‘s career, potentially his best performance to date according to early reviews and industry buzz. This film adds to his busy schedule, which includes upcoming projects like “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” Vishal Bharadwaj’s next venture, and “Aashiqui 3”.
