#Repost @tridevpandey It's been a month since Chandu Champion hit the theaters, and it's still going strong! What a journey it has been! @kartikaaryan's 1.5 years of consistent hard workout and determination to do justice to his character has paid off. This picture shows the result of all his training and effort. It proves that anything is possible if you work hard and train well."
Following Kartik's post, fans flooded the comment section. One of the users wrote, "Congratulations on the success of Chandu Champion running in theatres for over a month! Your hard work and talent have truly paid off. Wishing you continued success!" Another user commented, "Your transformation not just physically but as a human is amazing."

Kartik Aaryan has been chronicling his fitness journey on Instagram since before the release of Chandu Champion. On one occasion, he surprised fans by sharing striking before-and-after transformation pictures. In the caption he wrote, "From 39 % body fat to 7 % body fat !! From being an 'insomniac' to turning into a 'fitness enthusiast', it's surely a journey of one and half years to remember for me. The life of the living legend Murlikant Petkar, not only made me a stronger human being but also, further installed the belief that if you can dream it, then you can achieve it... nothing is impossible. Pehle mummy kehti thi, 'beta gym jao' lekin aaj kal haalaat aise hain ki unhe call karke bolna padta hai, 'beta gym se vapas aa jao."

Chandu Champion is directed by Kabir Khan and jointly produced by him and Sajid Nadiadwala. The sports drama tells the inspiring tale of India's first Paralympics gold medallist Murlikant Petkar. 
In the film, Kartik portrays Petkar, who survived nine bullets and went on to win gold in swimming in 1972 Paralympics. 
On the work front, Kartik will next be seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to release on November 1, 2024. The film will also feature Vidya Balan and Triptii Dimri.
