In another post, the actor also penned a long note to celebrate the two years of ‘Chandu Champion.’
Kartik Aryan wrote, “Two years ago, I stepped into the shoes of a man the world had forgotten, and he ended up reminding me of everything I believed in. I’m not sure I’ve fully put it into words yet, but I’ll try. This film isn’t just about a man who refused to give up, it’s about the scars that become medals, setbacks that become comebacks. The 18 kilos I lost were nothing compared to everything I gained.”
He further wrote, “Chandu Champion is the most special film of my life. To play Murlikant Petkar, I had to become someone I’d never been before. Every early morning, every drop of sweat, every moment of self-doubt on set- it wasn’t acting. It was living. Chandu’s story taught me that the world will laugh at your dream before it applauds it. That the finish line belongs to those stubborn enough to keep running. I carried that with me every single day of this shoot and honestly, I still do.”
