After delivering a slew of hits in the comedy and romantic genre, Kartik Aaryan is dipping his toes in a sports biopic movie. The actor is gearing up for the release of ‘Chandu Champion’ where he will be playing the role of India’s first Paralympics gold medallist – Murlikant Petkar. He underwent a massive physical transformation for the role. In a recent social media post, the actor shared his drastic physical transformation, and fans are in awe of his dedication.

Taking to his X (formerly known as Twitter), Kartik Aaryan shared a before and after picture that showed how he transformed his body for ‘Chandu Champion.’ The actor mentioned that it took him one and a half years to get the body that was required for the role. He mentioned how he reduced his body fat from 39 percent to just 7 percent. The actor 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 instilled the belief that if you can dream it, then you can achieve it...nothing is impossible.”
