Aaryan's latest big-screen release is sports drama "Chandu Champion", directed by Kabir Khan.
«All the films that I've been doing showcase a different side of me. For example, if I do a film like 'Freddy', 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' or 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', they are all different from each other… I'm doing work on the basis of what I heard in the narration whether I liked it, and I want to be a part of it or not.
«Am I able to watch it, will I go to the theatre to watch it? That's my only funda (rule)… It's not like (I need) validation from someone or critics. I get my validation from the audience. That is the audience is going to the theatres to watch it, whether they are enjoying the film or not,» the Gwalior-born actor told PTI in an interview here.
«Chandu Champion», set to hit the screens on Friday, is the story of India's first Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar. It follows the journey of the titular hero across ages and phases, including being an Indian Army soldier, a wrestler, a boxer, a 1965 war veteran and a swimmer.
