Veteran actress Shabana Azmi also praised Kartik’s performance. Sharing a picture with the actor from the film’s screening, Shabana wrote on Instagram, “I was deeply moved by #KabirKhans film #ChanduChampion and I loved #KartikAryans portrayal. He played it with an almost childlike determination and an extremely winsome smile which prevented him from projecting it as arrogance. #VijayRaaz as the coach is very effective. It’s a real-life story, and I say Salaam (salute) Kabir for making it his lifetime so he got to watch it with his family. Here am I with Kartik at a special screening organized by #ExcelEntertainment.”
Kartik responded to Shabana’s post with heartfelt gratitude, saying, “Mujhe Meri Eidi Mil Gayi (I got my Eidi) (heart face emojis). Every word you said feels like a medal for me (folded hands and red heart emojis).”
As ‘Chandu Champion’ continues to win hearts, Kartik Aaryan is set to appear in upcoming films ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ and ‘Captain India’. Meanwhile, director Kabir Khan is gearing up for the release of his next film, ‘Kill’.
