Kartik Aaryan dubs for Chandu Champion, teases trailer is on its way: "Bas thoda sa intezaar"

The biographical sports drama film Chandu Champion is generating a lot of buzz. Directed by Kabir Khan and co-produced by Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala, the film boasts a powerful combination of creative forces behind the camera. But the real intrigue lies in Kartik Aaryan's portrayal of the protagonist. This upcoming film is a true story based on the life of Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold medalist. Aaryan has undergone a dramatic transformation for this film.

The excitement surrounding the film recently reached a fever pitch when Aaryan himself shared a sneak peek on social media. The post offered a glimpse into the actor's dedication to the project. Aaryan is seen in a recording studio, presumably dubbing for the trailer. He further captioned it, "Bas thoda sa intezaar... Chandu is on his way… Trailer dub #ChanduChampion / 14th June in cinemas @kabirkhankk #SajidNadiadwala @wardakhannadiadwala."

Petkar's story is an embodiment of resilience. A promising athlete, Petkar's journey took an unexpected turn when he was disabled in the Indo-Pakistani War. However, his unwavering spirit led him to overcome adversity and achieve sporting glory at the Paralympics.

Speaking of the film, the actor previously said, “Chandu Champion is one of the toughest films that I have done because it has so many elements. Murlikant Petkar ji’s journey is unlike any other. When I first heard the film, I couldn’t believe it was a true story. He was not associated with one sport alone; there were different sports and different phases in his life. Also, he was an army officer. So, the logline of the film is a man who refuses to surrender.”

The actor added, “We are showing him at 17 years old, 24 years old, and in later [years]. So, you’ll see a complete transformation in me throughout the film. My [fitness] routine was based on how the character had to look—he had to look childlike at one stage and mature in another. The shoot lasted a year, and I didn’t do anything else during that time.”

Director Kabir Khan is known for his ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate with audiences. His last directorial venture was 83, which chronicled India's historic victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup.

Jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion is set for a June 14, 2024 release, and with the trailer release on the horizon, anticipation is sure to reach a boiling point.
