Chandu can dance saala

Sources say Kartik Aaryan shot a special dance number with 50 background artistes at Film City for Chandu Champion

Chandu Champion could well be Kartik Aaryan’s most demanding film. Only days ago, the actor shared how he filmed an eight-minute single-shot war sequence at Aru Valley in Jammu and Kashmir for Kabir Khan’s ambitious project. After the taxing Kashmir leg, it looks like the actor-director duo are seeking a change of pace with a lighter schedule. Over the past week, Aaryan filmed a special dance number at Film City in Goregaon.

The song has been choreographed by Bosco Martis. “Studio 5 at Film City was blocked for four days for the shoot. The dance number sees Kartik shaking a leg with over 50 background dancers. Even though a dance track may sound at odds with the vein of the film, Kartik and Bosco have attempted something different here, making it a song that fits seamlessly in the narrative,” reveals a source. 

Khan’s passion project, billed as “the true story of a man who refused to surrender”, celebrates the indomitable spirit of Murlikant Petkar, who was rendered paraplegic after sustaining injuries in the 1965 India-Pakistan war. He then rose against the odds to become India’s first Paralympic gold medalist in 1972.
