Kartik Aaryan\u2019s stellar performance as real-life Olympian Murlikant Petkar continues to win him accolades and awards, more than a year after the release of Chandu Champion.<\/p>\n

Kabir Khan opens up on Kartik Aaryan\u2019s win for Chandu Champion; says, \u201cI am really proud of Kartik\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about Kartik\u2019s impact in the film, director Kabir Khan says, \u201cThis is what hard work and dedication of an actor looks like. I always knew it would be extremely challenging for any actor to portray Murlikant Petkar in Chandu Champion. The role could have easily gone to someone far more experienced, and it would still have been tough. But Kartik rose to the occasion and delivered everything I had desired as a filmmaker.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kabir describes Kartik\u2019s performance as a complete triumph. \u201cI\u2019m so proud to stand with him and applaud him for winning the Best Actor award. He\u2019s not only a star who delivers commercial blockbusters but also an actor hungry for roles that challenge him \u2014 a very rare combination in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recalling why he chose Kartik Aaryan for Chandu Champion, Kabir explains, \u201cI needed somebody who could look like a boy \u2014 someone who was 18 when he made a statement, with that sense of naivety. I also needed someone who could look endearing even when his conduct was questionable. Then, as the character matures, there\u2019s the physical and emotional transformation. Kartik had to live two lives on screen \u2014 the chubby, innocent village boy at the start and the disciplined athlete later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kabir reveals that Kartik Aaryan even underwent a significant physical transformation for the role. \u201cHe actually put on all that weight. He had wanted to gain weight for Freddy, but I think he couldn\u2019t stop eating and continued to gain more. When I met him, he was already at that weight. He then went the extra mile for Chandu Champion. Whenever an actor goes that far for authenticity, I truly wish he gets recognized and applauded for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
