Aaryan
in
Chandu
Champion.
Kartik
Aaryan,
who
is
busy
promoting
Chandu
Champion,
which
releases
in
theatres
on
Friday,
June
14,
recently
shared
insights
into
the
making
of
the
highly
anticipated
biopic
of
para
athlete
Murlikant
Petkar.
During
a
media
interaction,
Kartik
spoke
about
the
immense
challenges
he
faced
while
preparing
for
his
role
in
the
film.
“For
me,
it
was
incredibly
challenging
and
discomforting.
Swimming
and
boxing
were
never
something
I
imagined
doing.
Combining
all
these
elements
in
one
film
was
demanding,
and
I
had
to
learn
them
all
professionally
because
my
opponents
were
all
professionals
—
wrestlers,
swimmers,
or
real
boxers,”
he
said.
“Matching
their
level
was
tough,
so
I
worked
really
hard.
This
is
the
toughest
role
of
my
career.”
