The story of champion Chandu
The narrative centers on a man with an unbreakable spirit who led India to gold at the Paralympic Games despite several setbacks along the way. Chandu Champion, directed by Kabir Khan and co-produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan, portrays the inspiring story of a dedicated athlete. Kartik Aaryan plays Chandu in this film, which is based on the life of Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold winner in freestyle swimming. It also features Shreyas Talpade, Rajpal Yadav and Vijay Raaz, among others. Kabir's recent film 83 performed poorly at the box office due to the omicron Covid wave in 2021. Ranveer Singh headlined the event.
Unfortunately, Kartik Aaryan's Chandu Champion was leaked hours after its release. If reports are to be believed, the film was leaked online in HD hours after its release on various websites. The illegal action shook the entire cast and crew to the core.

Say no to piracy
Piracy of movies and TV shows may have a greater influence on creativity than previously thought. Apart from the financial losses, it prevents artists from giving their all. Therefore, it is preferable to say goodbye to piracy once and for all for the sake of creativity, art and the hard work that comes with it. Let's respect private property rights.
