A day ago, Kartik Aaryan shared a sneak peek of the film's first poster on social media. However, things took a surprising turn when his mischievous feline companion, Katori interrupted his promotional diaries. Katori playfully contributed to the promotional efforts by 'assisting' in tearing apart the poster. Sharing the video on Instagram, he wrote, "Aaj se promotion ka shubharambh hona tha lekin. Katori ne poster hi phaad dia. Ab kal hi ayega poster (The promotional activities were supposed to begin from today but Katori tore the poster. Now, the poster will come tomorrow."
Directed by Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion narrates the story of a sportsman's resilience and determination. Kartik Aaryan steps into the role of Chandu. Reportedly, the film is based on the life of Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold medalist in freestyle swimming.
For the unversed, this collaboration marks Kartik Aaryan's first project with director Kabir Khan.
