Kartik Aaryan in `Chandu Champion`

After the success of 'Satyaprem Ki Katha', Sajid Nadiadwala's upcoming 'Chandu Champion', based on a true story of a sportsperson and directed by Kabir Khan, is currently getting the masses curious. Audiences want to witness this extraordinary real-life story which is headlined by the versatile Kartik Aaryan. Today the makers revealed the first look of Kartik in the titular role, exuding pride in the India blazer.

The much-awaited first look shows the actor in a completely new avatar - fully getting into the skin of the character. Donning short hair and the blazer of India, Kartik looks intensely at the camera. His off-screen messy-sexy hairdo is a hairstyle cult amidst the boys, but when it comes to his films, the actor always transforms like a chameleon to get into the role. This time, he has surprised everyone and how! His sharp buzz-cut haircut and that intense look on his face give us a glimpse that he has a riveting story to tell. Biopics are always interesting to watch and Kartik has surely left no stone unturned to get this one right! This new avatar of the young superstar has indeed further piqued the excitement for the release of the film!

Sharing the first look, Kartik also revealed that the first schedule in London had ended. He posted, "When INDIA is written on your chest, it's a DIFFERENT feeling. Proud to be playing a Real Hero. A Man Who Refuses To Give Up. #ChanduChampion #FirstLook End of Schedule 1 #London"

Chandu Champion went on floors with its mahurat shot in London in the presence of Sajid & Warda Nadiadwala along with Kabir Khan and Kartik Aaryan present at the location, with a special guest of honour, the Minister of Culture, Media and Sports RT Hon Stuart Andrew.

The film will mark Kartik and Kabir's first association and the second one with Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. It's indeed one of the coolest collaborations as the project brings three talented giants of the industry together. Jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan, 'Chandu Champion' will be directed by Kabir Khan and will star Kartik Aaryan in the lead. Chandu Champion is all set for its grand release on Eid, June 2024.
