Rahul Bhatt reveals Kartik Aaryan doubted his ability to train him
Rahul Bhatt is known to be a man of few words, but his work speaks for him. After a long time, he sat down for an interview with Hindi Rush and opened up about his experience training Bollywood stars. For those unaware, Kartik left everyone stunned with his dramatic physical transformation in Kabir Khan’s sports drama film, Chandu Champion. The actor trained for over two years to get a ripped body and the agility to portray the role of a professional boxer and swimmer on-screen. Everyone was stunned at the actor’s transformation, and Rahul mentioned that the task wasn’t easy for him. Sharing the reason, Rahul said:
“He didn’t have any foundation in strength training. He also had to do boxing, which is a different skill set. He also had to go swimming. So it was a tough thing he pulled off. He’s not an athlete. He’s not Tiger (Shroff) or one of those guys. But he pulled it off.”
