Chandu Champion OTT release: Directed by Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion narrates the motivating story of a resolute athlete, a war veteran who survived nine bullets and went on to win India's first Paralympic gold meda. Kartik Aaryan stars as Chandu in this movie, which draws inspiration from the life of Murlikant Petkar, India's pioneering Paralympic gold medalist in freestyle swimming. As the film releases in theatres today on June 14, here's all you need to know about its OTT release.
If the latest reports are to be believed, the streaming rights of the film are with Amazon Prime Video. Hence, the OTT platform will likely release the film after the theatrical run.
An official announcement is still pending, but the film won't be available for streaming until at least two months after its theatrical release. Therefore, it is likely that Kartik Aaryan's movie will be available for streaming in late August or September.
Talking to ANI, Kartik spoke about the immense challenges he faced while preparing for his role as Chandu Champion in the film. "For me, it was incredibly challenging and discomforting. Swimming and boxing were never something I imagined doing. Combining all these elements in one film was demanding, and I had to learn them all professionally because my opponents were all professionals–wrestlers, swimmers, or real boxers. Matching their level was tough, so I worked really hard. This is the toughest role of my career."
Speaking about the intensity of his preparation, Kartik said, "This has been a life-changing role for me, and I am genuinely proud of this film. I just hope that people come to the theaters to watch this film. And I believe, as I’ve said before, that this is the toughest film and role of my career. As you may have seen in the trailer, hard work is evident."
