Citing a source close to the project, the publication reported, “Although Chandu Champion mostly revolves around Kartik [Aaryan], the film has many other important characters pivotal to the narrative, and the makers have brought on board a slew of excellent actors for that.”
“They have roped in Vijay Raaz, Bhuvan Arora, and Rajpal Yadav to play key roles alongside Kartik. They have also roped in debutant actress Bhagyashree for this movie. However, her identity is being kept under wraps at this moment,” divulged the insider.

Further speaking about the titular character, inspired by a real-life hero, and the physical transformation of the actor for it, the source explained, “It’s a prep-heavy film, and Kartik has gone all out to give his best. It’s the most challenging character he has played so far, and he is leaving no stone unturned to make it memorable.”
