Alia Bhatt’s Half Brother Rahul Bhatt Says Kartik Aaryan Is 'PR Ka Baap' After Training Him For Chandu Champion

Kartik Aaryan's trainer, Rahul Bhatt, recently opened up about his experience working with the actor and revealed the extent of his dedication.

New Delhi: Rahul Bhatt, son of Mahesh Bhatt and a fitness trainer, has talked about the year-long process of preparing Kartik Aaryan for the physically challenging part in the 2024 film 'Chandu Champion'. Famous for his collaborations with Bollywood's A-list, Rahul recently discussed his relationship with Kartik, the actor's work ethic, and the indisputable talent he has when it comes to self-promotion.

In the biographical sports drama 'Chandu Champion', Rahul Bhatt, who is half-brother to Alia Bhatt, designed Kartik's strength training program. Rahul said that Aaryan gave it his all to play the character, even though the actor didn't come from an athletic background.

He shared, "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 do 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.” 

Kartik Aaryan's PR Skills Impress Rahul

Rahul complimented Kartik on his talent for self-branding in an open and humorous moment. He said, “He’d (Kartik) doubt me a little in the beginning. I didn’t get along with him, like say I did with Aamir (Khan). You have to get along in this business. You have to surrender to your coach. That comfort has to be there. He was very respectful, very punctual, a thorough professional again. There are a lot of things I’ve learnt from him, like self-promotion. Baap ka baap hai, dadaji hai, ye sab cheez mein (he aces the PR game). But I can’t do what he can. Only he can do it. That’s what it takes to be a movie star in today’s time. If that’s what it takes, then I’m not fit to be anything. I’m fit to be a pehelwan (bodybuilder) only.”
