Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round, because Bollywood Newshound Nisha is here to sprinkle some masala on your daily dose of B-town news! 🍿😉
Fasten your seatbelts, folks, because we’re diving headfirst into the world of Kabir Khan, the maestro behind the blockbuster hits ’83’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’! 🎬🏆
So, this man, Kabir, is all guns blazing for his upcoming biographical sports drama, ‘Chandu Champion’. Guess who’s playing the lead? None other than our very own heart-throb, Kartik Aaryan! 🏋️♂️🎉
Kabir, in a tête-à-tête with IANS, spilled the beans on why he zeroed in on Kartik to play Chandu, a character inspired by the life of Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist. He said, “When I was crafting the script of ‘Chandu’…I had an image in my mind. A personality, an age, an attitude…And Kartik, in my opinion, was the embodiment of those attributes.”
I mean, can you blame him? Kartik’s charisma is undeniable! 😍💫
Now, here’s the kicker. Kabir and Kartik had never worked together before, not even met formally. And yet, after a cosy 2.5-hour chit-chat, Kabir was convinced that Kartik was his ‘Chandu Champion’. Talk about the power of director’s instinct! 😱🎯
Kabir further revealed that he had two big asks for Kartik – a drastic haircut and a gruelling body transformation to match Petkar’s international athlete physique. And guess what? Kartik didn’t even blink before saying yes! Talk about dedication, folks! 🙌💪
Buckle up, as ‘Chandu Champion’, jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan, is set to hit the theatres on June 14th! 🍿🎥
So, what’s the big takeaway from all this, you ask? Well, here’s…
Nisha’s Nutshell: In the glitzy world of Bollywood, a director’s instinct can be as potent as a crystal ball! But, remember, it takes two to tango and the actor’s dedication is the secret sauce for that perfect reel curry! So, always trust your gut, be it on or off the screen, because when it comes to making magic, instinct is king! 🎩✨
Catch you on the flip side, folks! Until then, keep it sassy, keep it filmy, and keep it real! 🎬🍿😉
