Chandu Champion chronicles the extraordinary true story of Murlikant Petkar, who served as a soldier in the 1965 Indo-Pak War and sustained injuries that left him physically impaired. But in the face of formidable challenges, Petkar went on to become a champion sportsman across several disciplines, winning India’s first Paralympic gold medal in 1972. Through his inspiring journey, the film highlights themes of perseverance, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit, making it a compelling watch for audiences worldwide.
“Chandu Champion has won hearts with its powerful storytelling and Kartik Aaryan’s remarkable performance,” said Manish Menghani, director of Content Licensing, Prime Video India. “We are excited to bring this inspiring film to our service, showcasing Murlikant Petkar’s incredible journey. At Prime Video, we aim to offer impactful and entertaining stories, and Chandu Champion is a perfect addition to our repertoire of films. We believe it will resonate with audiences globally, inspiring and entertaining them alike.”
“Certain stories must be shared with the world and Chandu Champion is one such story, crafted with sheer dedication and passion. I feel incredibly fortunate to bring this inspiring tale to life along with this fabulous team “said Producer Sajid Nadiadwala. “Kabir and the entire team have tirelessly worked towards excellence. Our association with Prime Video previously has been fantastic and we are confident that upon its release today on the service, it will make a significant impact on audiences globally.”
“From concept to final edits, this film has been a labor of love. Sometimes stories choose us, and I’m fortunate this one did. It’s a compelling underdog story of a man who refused to give up. We wanted to celebrate him and reach as many people as possible. With Prime Video’s expansive reach, we’re excited to share Chandu Champion with audiences worldwide,” shared director Kabir Khan.
Actor Kartik Aaryan shares “Playing Mr. Murlikant Petkar has been an absolute honour and a transformative journey for me. It took me one and a half years of intense preparation to truly get into his skin. I had to completely cut out sugar and follow a strict diet during this period. His incredibly inspiring story resonated deeply with me, and I will forever be grateful to Kabir sir and Sajid sir for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This has been the most challenging film of my career, featuring an eight-minute one-take war sequence, wrestling, swimming, and much more. I’m humbled and overwhelmed by the phenomenal response so far – with people calling it my career’s best performance and the best film – that truly makes this film very special for me. Now I’m thrilled for Prime Video audiences to experience the power and heart of Chandu Champion. I hope viewers worldwide draw inspiration from his unshakeable spirit.”
