Kartik Aaryan, one of Bollywood’s current leading stars, recently achieved a milestone: he won his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his performance in Chandu Champion. As congratulations poured in from across the industry, the real hero whose life the film is based on—Murlikant Petkar—added his own warm tribute.
To portray Murlikant Petkar, Kartik committed fully: undergoing physical transformation, intense training, and emotional preparation. He aimed to capture not just the resilience of the athlete, but his inspiring spirit. The film’s depth and Kartik’s performance struck a chord with critics and audiences alike. Taking to social media, Petkar shared a message alongside Kartik’s photo: “Congratulations, Kartik Aaryan, on winning the 70th Hyundai Filmfare Best Actor Award 2025 for Chandu Champion. What a remarkable achievement—especially since this is your first Filmfare Best Actor Award. You truly deserve it. Your talent and dedication shine through, and this recognition is well-earned.
A heartfelt congratulations also goes to Kabir Khan for directing this remarkable film with such vision and passion. Your creativity and hard work have made a significant impact. Wishing you both continued success and many more awards in the future. All the best!” Petkar’s words created a touching full‑circle moment—where the life he lived applauds the portrayal of it on screen.
In Chandu Champion, Kartik delivered a sensitive yet powerful performance that blended vulnerability and strength, setting a new benchmark in his career. As he moves forward, audiences eagerly await his upcoming projects, including Karan Johar’s Tu Mera Main Teri, Main Tera Tu Meri, his first collaboration with Dharma Productions, as well as an untitled love story by Anurag Basu and the ambitious Naagzila.
