Chandu Champion, Kartik Aaryan's next cinematic venture, is in the spotlight for all the right reasons. The biopic is based on India's first Paralympic gold medallist Murlikant Petkar. Needless to say, Kartik has some big shoes to fill this time, and he is doing so graciously. Ahead of the Tu Hai Champion's song release, the star offered fans a sneak peek into his hardcore gym session. In his recent Instagram entry, he was seen executing pushups but with a challenging spin. Weighted waist plates were strapped onto his waist as Kartik performed the gruelling exercise. By going hard on himself through this strenuous physical activity, he put up an inspiring display of his “Champion mentality”. Dumbbell pushups target the chest and triceps, they enhance cardiovascular health, improve posture and balance, promote better metabolism, and contribute to core stability.
Not long ago, Chandu Champion's director Kabir Khan heaped praise on Kartik Aaryan for his dedication and grit in transforming himself as an athlete. His lean cut and muscular physique as seen in the film posters are evidence of Kartik's hard work. In the words of the director, “The story of Chandu Champion is an incredibly inspiring true story but the journey that Kartik went through to become this champion is no less inspiring.”
Speaking about Kartik Aaryan's never-back-down mindset, Kabir Khan added, “I met him when he had put on weight for a role. He had 39 percent body fat. I told him that he had to portray an international-level multi-disciplinary sportsperson. He just smiled and said, ‘I will do it, Sir'. A man of his word, Kartik did as he promised. “A year and a half later with no use of steroids” the Bollywood actor underwent a drastic physical transformation of reducing his body fat to only 7 percent. It was a commitment that Karik was “adamant about” and he delivered the desired results. “I'm proud of you,” concluded Kabir Khan and we all agreed.
Kartik Aaryan's Chandu Champion hits the silver screens on June 14.
