About Chandu Champion
The biographical sports drama, which is helmed by Kabir Khan, follows Kartik’s character as he goes through several phases of his life. It depicts his character overcoming several obstacles, such as being taken advantage of and even suffering injuries during combat. Before learning about the Paralympics, it compels him to give up on his goal of taking home a gold medal from the Olympics.
National-level boxer Tridev Pandey, the actor’s trainer, stated in an interview with Hindustan Times, “I’ve seen so many sports dramas made in India, but no one shows proper boxing.” This is due to the fact that an actor cannot give their all unless they are an expert in the activity. We took our time, but I believe we succeeded with Kartik.
Kartik, along with co-stars Vidya Balan and Triptii Dimri, will soon be seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The horror comedy is now in the shooting phase.
