Kartik Aayan is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Chandu Champion. Ahead of the film’s release, the actor’s trainer Tridev Pandey, recently shared a glimpse of Kartik Aaryan’s intense preparation for Chandu Champion on his Instagram handle. He shared a video on Instagram showing the actor enduring tough training sessions, including soaking his hands in ice and engaging in a rigorous workout. In his caption, the trainer wrote, “We all love watching a good film, but I had the unique opportunity to see the hard work that goes into playing a role of this calibre.”
He added, “Kartik Bhai put in his best to transform for the part, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. His consistency and fiery determination have turned him from Chandu into a true Champion, both in reel life and real life. Can’t wait for you all to watch this on screen and feel the goosebumps I did behind the scenes. Har Har Mahadev.”
