Kartik Aaryan
After nailing a five-minute-long monologue in a single take, Kartik Aaryan has achieved another feat in his upcoming film, Chandu Champion. The actor on Thursday shared his first look in an army uniform firing a gun at a war sequence. In the caption, he informed fans that this particular image is from an 8-minute-long combat action which is a single shot at a breathtaking altitude of 9000 feet above sea level. Fans hailed the actor for his determination and dedication to his craft.
Taking to Instagram, the Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor wrote, “This 8 minutes long single-shot war scene turned out to be the most challenging, spectacular and yes, difficult but also the most memorable shot of my acting career. Thank you @kabirkhankk sir for giving me a memory to cherish for a lifetime. #ChanduChampion.” Soon after, a fan reacted, “From delivering a five and half page monologue in one shot to shooting 8 minutes long war scene in one shot From delivering a five-and-a-half-page monologue to shooting 8 minutes long war scene in one shot. Only you can relate to doing these things.”
Another fan added, “I can definitely say that for champions like you who can speak continuously for 8 minutes, to act in an action scene must be challenging but easier for you. Proud to say that I am a Kartik Aaryan Fan.” “Your expressions are already making us go crazy ....we know that you would have given your more than 100% for it... Super proud of you Chandu,” read a comment. “From monologues to shooting long action sequences in one gooo!! HATS OFF,” read another comment. “Story begins another record crack,” said a netizen.
For the unversed, Kartik had earlier delivered a clap-worthy scene of five-and-half-page in a single take for Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama. His comic timing and rant made the scene viral and it has garnered more than 10 mn views in YouTube.
Coming back to Chandu Champion, the film is based on the real-life story of a sportsman and his spirit of never giving up. It is reportedly based on the life of Murlikant Petkar, a freestyle swimmer and India’s first Paralympic gold medalist. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film is jointly produced by him and Sajid Nadiadwala. It is set to arrive in theatres on June 14, 2023.
