Kartik Aaryan reveals his diet plan for 'Chandu Champion'

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Kartik revealed that he did a lot of things for the first time and learnt many new things while prepping for the role of Murlikant Petkar. He said, "I did a lot of things for the first time and got to learn new things. If you club together the chronicles of his journey, not just in sports, but his army life and normal life then you will see it becomes a multi-genre biopic which was a difficult subject for me. I was anyway doing a movie out of my comfort zone and this movie was something that taught me a lot.“

He further told the publication that he never had a single cheat day. When asked what he ate and what he had to sacrifice for Chandu Champion, Kartik said, “Wheat, rice, sweets, chocolates, ice cream, burgers, pizza, etc. I had to stop eating a lot of things for the role. The food that I was eating was in small quantities that I didn’t even consider an appetizer. I used to have soup and little fruits, I used to have cauliflower rice, beans, salads, and tofu and I used to eat these for 1-1.5 years. Yes, there were no cheat meals, no Sundays for me, every day was working for me in terms of diet, working out."
