Shabana Azmi’s Tearfest at ‘Chandu Champion’, Javed Akhtar Finds His Muse

Hey there, Bollywood aficionados! It’s your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back with another juicy tidbit from the glitzy world of Hindi cinema. Buckle up!

Kartik Aaryan’s "Chandu Champion" is turning heads and melting hearts! This biographical sports drama, which chronicles the life of India’s first Paralympics gold medalist Murlikant Petkar, is generating quite the buzz. And guess who’s singing its praises? None other than the legendary Shabana Azmi and the iconic Javed Akhtar.

Now, imagine this: a private screening, the air thick with anticipation. As the lights go up, Azmi’s eyes are puffy from all the tears. "Boht achi hai (It’s very good)," she tells the paparazzi, adding, "Mai toh ro-ro ke paagal ho gai aur Kartik ka kaam boht acha tha. Kabir ne boht acha kiya. Maine boht dino ke baad Kabir ki film dekhi aur usne pakad ke rakha second half pe bhi." Translation: She cried her heart out, Kartik nailed it, and Kabir Khan has still got his mojo. 🎬😭

Javed Akhtar, the lyrical wizard, nods in agreement, calling it an inspiring tale. Azmi continues, "Inhone boht bada karz chukaya hai ki itni achi kahani panno me gum ho gai thi aur usko 50 saal baad.. Abhi unkone (Murlikant Petkar) khud dekhi film aur vo ro rahe they." In simpler terms, this film has finally given a long-lost story the spotlight it deserved, bringing even the real-life hero to tears. Bravo, team Chandu Champion! 👏

And, oh, did I mention that Ananya Panday caught a sneak peek of the film too? She rocked a chic brown slip dress paired with black slippers—because why not be comfy while watching an emotional rollercoaster, right? Post-screening, she hopped onto Instagram to gush about it: "Outstanding. You have to see it to believe it! @kartikaaryan @kabirkhankk ❤️ and the entire cast and crew!"

So, there you have it, folks. A tear-jerking, heartwarming, and inspirational saga that’s got everyone from Bollywood veterans to young starlets raving.

Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, if you make ’em cry, you’ve done it right. Also, never underestimate the power of a good slip dress at a premiere. 😉👗
