Netizens Reactions
After the tweet, fans started sharing their views on it. A fan wrote, “If it’s from The Javed Akhtar himself , we must watch.” A comment read, “Happy for the praise Kartik Aryan is getting for his performance. I always wondered why some people troll him so much for apparently no reason.”
“Particularly got bored in the second half. But yes still gobsmacked to know that it was based on a real story,” said an online user. A fan said, “Very much true sir Kartik has suprised one and all with a fablous performance.” A comment read, “If you are praising it Then must go see it in theatre.”
Earlier, Kartik Aaryan shared that he lost a lot of body fat for this film. In an Instagram post, Kartik 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 Mr 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 also stars Vijay Raaz, Bhagyashree Patwardhan, Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Anand, Adonis Kapsalis, and Stuart Whelan in prominent roles. It released in theatres on 14th June.
