Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan took everyone by storm when he signed Kabir Khan’s Chandu Champion. The film is based on 1972 Para Olympics gold medalist Murlikant Rajaram Petkar. From Kartik’s comedy genre-based filmography to Kabir Khan’s 83 debacle, everything was at stake when the duo came together for Chandu Champion. But by taking everyone by surprise and turning haters into his fans, Kartik has wooed everyone with this must-watch biopic. And seems like National Award-winning actor Shabana Azmi was also impressed with Kartik’s performance in Chandu Champion.
Shabana Azmi’s post for Kartik and Kabir Khan
Veteran actor Shabana Azmi took to her Instagram to heap praises on Kartik and Kabir Khan. “I was deeply moved by Kabir Khan’s film Chandu Champion and I loved Kartik Aryan’s portrayal. He played it with an almost child determination with an extremely winsome smile which prevented him from projecting it as arrogance. Vijay Raaz as the coach is very effective. It’s a real-life story and I say Salaam Kabir for making it his (Murlikant Rajaram Petkar) lifetime so he got to watch it with his family. Here am I with Kartik at a special screening organised by Excel Entertainment,” read her caption.
