Kartik Aaryan was suggested to consume a meat based diet for Chandu Champion - Exclusive

After the success of Satyaprem Ki Katha and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik Aaryan is all set for his next big screen outing in Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan’s Chandu Champion. The film is based on India’s first paralympic gold medalist, Murlikant Petkar. The trailer of the same dropped recently, and seems like Kartik has put his heart and soul in the same, as he playa a boxer and swimmer in the film.

ETimes has exclusively shared details about the rigorous training he went through with his trainer Tridev Pandey to learn boxing.

Not only that, the actor also had to make significant changes in his diet to get the right look for the film. His trainer Tridev who also makes an appearance in the film shared, "We had a weekly diet plan for him, we couldn’t go very extreme with his diet, as post Freddy for which he had gained weight, he began shooting for Satyaprem and then shooting for Chandu was also going to start. So he couldn’t get the right amount of rest an athlete needs for the diet to start working.”

“Kartik is an eggetarian and there were many people who were suggesting that he start eating non-vegetarian food, but he only took my advice. Being a vegetarian myself, I knew how to get the body without eating non-veg food, and he really appreciates my physique. So he only asked me ‘ aise body ban jayegi na?’ and I told him yes.”

Chandu Champion is releasing on June 14. Post that, Kartik has a string of films lined up, from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit Nene, to Karn Johar and Ektaa R Kapoor’s next.
