Actor Kartik Aaryan has returned to work after achieving one of the biggest milestones of his career. The actor is back on the London sets of his upcoming film Captain India, just days after receiving the National Award for Best Actor.
Kartik was honoured at the 72nd National Film Awards for his performance as Paralympic gold medallist Murlikant Petkar in Chandu Champion. After the prestigious ceremony, the actor headed back to the sets of his next project, where the team gave him a warm welcome.
Captain India Team Celebrates His National Award
Kartik’s return to the Captain India sets was marked with a special celebration by the crew.
Baweja Studios shared a glimpse of the moment on social media, showing Kartik cutting a cake with members of the team. The makers welcomed him back and expressed their happiness over having a National Award-winning actor on the project.
The team also pointed out that Captain India now has both a National Award-winning director and actor associated with it.
The celebration came just days after Kartik accepted the Best Actor honour at the National Film Awards ceremony in Gujarat.
Kartik Aaryan Wins Best Actor For Chandu Champion
Kartik received the Best Actor National Award for his portrayal of Murlikant Petkar in Kabir Khan’s Chandu Champion.
The actor shared the honour with veteran Malayalam actor Mammootty, who was recognised for his performance in Bramayugam. Kartik’s win marked his first National Award as an actor.
Following the announcement, Kartik described the achievement as a dream for the “small-town boy” from Gwalior who wanted to become an actor.
He also thanked director Kabir Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala for trusting him with the role of Murlikant Petkar.
From Gwalior To The National Award Stage
Kartik has repeatedly spoken about his journey from Gwalior to Bollywood, and the National Award became a major milestone in that story.
After receiving the honour, he reflected on his early years and the dream of becoming an actor despite coming from a small-town background.
He credited his parents, friends and professional team for supporting him throughout his career. Kartik also dedicated the honour to Paralympians across the country and to people who continue to pursue difficult dreams.
A Challenging Transformation For Chandu Champion
Kartik’s role in Chandu Champion required significant physical preparation.
To portray Murlikant Petkar, the actor underwent an extensive transformation and trained in disciplines including swimming and boxing. The preparation reportedly continued for around 14 months.
The film followed the extraordinary life of Petkar, who became India’s first Paralympic gold medallist after overcoming major challenges in his life.
Kartik’s performance in the sports biopic ultimately earned him the National Award recognition.
What Is Captain India About?
Captain India is an upcoming film featuring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role. The project is being directed by Shimit Amin, with production coming from T-Series, Baweja Studios and Dopamine Studios.
The film has been generating attention because of its subject and Kartik’s involvement. His return to the London schedule indicates that production is now continuing following the actor’s National Award commitments.
National Award Win Adds Another Chapter To Kartik’s Career
The National Award comes after a series of commercially successful and widely discussed films for Kartik Aaryan.
From Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Chandu Champion, the actor has explored different genres during his career.
His performance as Murlikant Petkar represented a departure from some of his earlier comic and romantic roles and required extensive preparation.
The National Award has now become another important chapter in Kartik’s career.
Kartik Gets Back To Work In London
While the National Award celebration is still fresh, Kartik has quickly returned to his professional commitments.
The Captain India crew’s cake-cutting celebration gave the actor an opportunity to mark the achievement with his current team before getting back to filming.
For Kartik, the moment combines two important milestones: celebrating his first Best Actor National Award and continuing work on a new film.
With the London schedule underway, fans can now expect more updates from the sets of Captain India as the project progresses.
