Meet Murlikant Petkar: The real 'Chandu Champion' Kartik Aaryan essays who survived nine bullet wounds & became India's first Paralympic gold medalist

Ever since the first-look poster of ‘Chandu Champion’ jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan was released, nationwide excitement has been seen to watch Kartik Aaryan in a never-before-seen avatar. The poster featuring Kartik Aaryan in ‘langot’ generated extremely positive chatter. In the film, Aaryan essays the role of India’s first Paralympic gold medalist.

In the 1965 war against Pakistan, Petkar sustained nine wounds that left him permanently injured. He won the gold medal for the nation in the 1972 Paralympics in Germany. The athlete also ended up making history in the 50-meter freestyle swimming with a timing of 37.33 seconds. He was awarded the Padmashree in 2018.

Source informed threw light on the poster making and said, “Where in today’s time most filmmakers believe in ‘Photoshoot’ sessions for poster shoots, the filmmaker Kabir Khan was sure to go the natural way to make the poster look real. No one knows that the ‘Boxer’ poster has been shot candidly.”

The source further added, “When Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan were done with the boxing sequence filming for the Chandu Champion , then only Kabir Khan decided to shoot the poster naturally as Kartik was completely into the character. The filmmaker took the moment and shot the picture.”
