Earlier, in an exclusive interaction with Pinkvilla, Kartik divulged how the film’s story is similar to his journey. He stated, “A lot. I felt like this journey could be a journey for anyone. A person who dreams of achieving his goals and this is a very underdog story where you feel like if I think of a dream like this and want to achieve it then it’s a Chandu Champion story.”
The actor further added that all of us have a Chandu Champion inside us stating that each one of us feels if we play sports, we want to be a winner and try to be at the top level no matter what profession we choose. Expressing the same, he opined, “I was so amazed by the story when I first heard the script and while performing the film, I felt so many times that I could relate to this story. It’s like a small-town boy dreaming of becoming something in life.”
