At the Chandu Champion trailer launch in Gwalior, Kartik Aaryan talked about being part of such a solid story directed by Kabir Khan. He also talked about being tagged as the Bollywood rom-com hero. Kabir Khan also praised Kartik for his dedication to building the physique his character demanded.
“For the first few months, I was skeptical. I said yes out of love for Kabir sir and Sajid sir because I wanted to do this. But I was also scared, thinking, ‘Will I be able to do it?’. I used to go to the gym daily, wasn’t regularly eating food, and wasn’t doing any other film. I’ve been working on only this one movie for one and a half years. I became a robot, following Kabir sir’s orders.”

“I used to not think genre-specifically about the movies I’d do and wouldn’t do. The thing is, even rom-coms require hard work, but that’s a different kind of hard work. This movie was physically demanding and required a different amount of time and patience. The hard work and passion will be there, no matter what genre you are working in. Whether it’s a comedy, romance, or thriller, every kind of movie requires effort. I was working hard back then, and I’m working hard even today and will keep doing it. I don’t want to lose this habit of working hard. If during “Chandu Champion” I were offered another movie, I would put in an equal amount of effort.”

Kabir Khan on Kartik Aaryan’s Physical Transformation for Chandu Champion
“Nowadays, those who go to gyms know how much steroids get misused. Kartik built his body naturally, without any substance. It has benefitted him as this body will remain with him. It is healthy. And you can see how his body looks on screen. This is how a fit and healthy body looks like. It’s almost next to impossible task that Kartik has managed to pull off. We snatched away all his favourite dishes.”
