Actor Kartik Aaryan’s film ‘Chandu Champion’ has been released in theatres today. In this film, the actor has played the role of Paralympic gold medalist Muralikant Petkar. Getting an athlete-like body for this film is no less than a great achievement for the actor. During a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, the actor told how he had to plan his diet to maintain an athlete-like body during the entire shooting of this film.
During the shooting of ‘Chandu Champion’, Karthik Aryan had to follow a very tough routine. During this time, he had to sacrifice many things in food. Karthik said – I stopped eating roti, rice, potatoes. There was no oil in vegetables at all. I used to take only boiled vegetables in lunch and only soup in dinner. This routine continued for a full one and a half years. During the shooting, the body was in a completely robotic mode.
Kartik Aaryan is a vegetarian. He had very few options to get protein. In such a situation, his nutrition expert made a diet plan for him with creative recipes and new things. Kartik said- I included tofu, paneer, broccoli, spinach, salad, beans, lentils in my diet. I kept eating all these things for one and a half years. There was no Sunday for me regarding diet, I was engaged in diet and workout every day.
Kartik Aaryan, director Kabir Khan and the film crew celebrated the end of the shooting. Kabir Khan fed Kartik Rasmalai and asked him – Will you eat it all? Kartik said – Sweets and chocolates are a different matter. I did not eat even a grain of sugar during the entire shooting of the film.
