Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 8 (ANI): Actor Kartik Aaryan surprised fans with stunning before and after transformation pictures as he gears up for his upcoming biopic film, ‘Chandu Champion’.
The ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ actor on Friday took to his Instagram to share his transformation pictures alongside a long caption.
“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,” read the caption of his post.

Soon after the actor dropped the pictures, fans chimed into the comment section.
One of the fans wrote, “All-time blockbuster movie.” Another wrote, “Love”.
“What a fighter,” penned a third user.
Earlier this week, Kartik spoke about the immense challenges he faced while preparing for his role as Chandu in the film.
“For me, it was incredibly challenging and discomforting. Swimming and boxing were never something I imagined doing. Combining all these elements in one film was demanding, and I had to learn them all professionally because my opponents were all professionals–wrestlers, swimmers, or real boxers. Matching their level was tough, so I worked really hard. This is the toughest role of my career,” said Kartik.
Speaking about the intensity of his preparation, Kartik said, “This has been a life-changing role for me, and I am genuinely proud of this film. I just hope that people come to the theatres to watch this film. And I believe, as I’ve said before, that this is the toughest film and role of my career. As you may have seen in the trailer, hard work is evident.”
Directed by Kabir Khan, ‘Chandu Champion’ tells the inspiring tale of a determined athlete. Kartik Aaryan portrays Chandu in this film, which is based on the life of Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist in freestyle swimming.
Set to release on June 14, the film aims to engage audiences with its story of resilience and determination. (ANI)
