Just days after the tragic accidentthe actor launched the trailer of his most-awaited film, ‘Chandu Champion‘ in his hometown Gwalior today, on May 18. Talking about launching the trailer in his hometown, Kartik said, “This is a dream come true moment for me.This is where I had dreamt to be an actor and to bring the toughest film of my career here is incredibly special. Mentally how am I feeling? A lot is going on in my life but the show must go on. I am just fortunate that all of you could join us for the trailer launch of the film here.”

Kartik also spilled the beans on being a part of the film. Kartik said, “I couldn’t believe at first that the story of ‘Chandu Champion’ was real. I asked Kabir Khan twice if the story was real.”

“I was initially sceptical even though I had said yes to the film because of the arduous journey that it would entail. I thought ‘Kabir sir aur Sajid sir ke pyaar mein maine haan toh keh diya par ye sab kaise hoga?’ (I have said yes to the film because of the love that I have for Kabir sir and Sajid sir but, how would it happen?). Today, when I look back at the journey, it was all worth it, and I would do it all over again without a shadow of a doubt.”

‘Chandu Champion’, based on India’s first Paralympic gold medalist, Murlikant Petkaris directed by Kabir Khan, who is known for ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. ‘Chandu Champion’ has been shot across India and the UK.
The film, jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan, is set to release on June 14.
