Kartik Aaryan will be seen in a completely different form in his upcoming release Chandu Champion. The actor had to go through a massive physical transformation for the film and now he claimed that he also became an insomniac and anti-social person. During his training for the movie, he became a more spiritual and positive person. He also shared that during the shooting of the first scene of Bhool Bhulaiyaa, he was told to increase his energy as it dropped. 

In an interview with Film Companion, Kartik said “I was living an anti-social life. Not that I was very social before, but during this process, I was completely anti-social. And I started liking it… I went to Anees (Bazmee) sir’s set. As soon as I started shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa and did my first scene, I was told my energy had dropped and I needed to increase it. I kept trying to raise it, but after a while, I felt I was acting too much. I even double-checked with him. Finding the right balance was tough.” 

“It was about leaving everything that I was eating. Everything I was then eating was new to me. It was something that never tasted good. This has turned me into a very meditative, positive, spiritual person. Not that I was so negative. I was almost an insomniac. Working out and working out properly without thinking about anything. I followed it for one and a half years, two years and it was a work of patience and perseverance,” he added.
