In a much-anticipated revelation on the 75th Republic Day of India, Kartik Aaryan took to his Instagram handle to unveil a sneak peek into his upcoming film ‘Chandu Champion.’ The movie, which has been generating significant buzz since its announcement, marks the debut collaboration between the versatile actor and acclaimed director Kabir Khan.
Kartik Aaryan, known for keeping his audience intrigued, shared an image showcasing his patriotic fervor as he donned a military uniform complete with a cap. The actor captioned the photo with a powerful statement, “Being a Champion is in every Indian’s blood… Jai Hind ???? Happy Republic Day,” and added the hashtag #ChanduChampion to signify the association with his upcoming project.
Adding to the excitement, Kartik recently revealed a remarkable achievement during the filming process—a challenging eight-minute single-shot sequence set against the breathtaking backdrop of Aru Valley in Jammu and Kashmir. Describing the intense war scene, he expressed, “This 8 minutes long single-shot war scene turned out to be the most challenging, spectacular, and yes, difficult but also the most memorable shot of my acting career.”
‘Chandu Champion’ narrates the compelling true story of Murlikant Petkar, a man who defied surrender despite being rendered paraplegic in the 1965 India-Pakistan war. Petkar’s resilience and determination led him to achieve the remarkable feat of becoming India’s first Paralympic gold medalist in 1972.
The film, slated for release on June 14, features Shraddha Kapoor as the leading lady. ‘Chandu Champion’ is set to go head-to-head with Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency,’ promising an exciting clash at the box office. With its patriotic theme and inspiring narrative, the movie aims to celebrate the indomitable spirit of individuals who rise against all odds.
