Kartik Aaryan is currently playing the role of India’s first Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar in Chandu Champion, for which he is getting a lot of love. Apart from him, there is another actor who has left an impression on the minds of cinephiles with his role in the Kabir Khan directed film.
We are talking about popular TV personality Anirudh Dave, who is seen playing Petkar’s brother Jagannath Rajaram Petkar in this biographical sports drama film. Read on to know more about him!
Who is Anirudh Dave who plays Kartik Aaryan’s brother in Chandu Champion?
Kartik Aaryan’s Chandu Champion, releasing on June 14, 2024, is doing well at the box office. While the talented star is leading the show, he is accompanied by Anirudh Dave, who is being praised for his powerful role.
Dave is a popular actor who has been associated with the TV industry for decades. Popular for his performances in shows like Woh Rehne Wali Mahalon Ki, Phulwa, Yeh Hai Aashiqui, Patiala Babes and others, Anirudh also tried his luck in the film industry but couldn’t make a huge impact. But finally, he came through and how!
Although he wanted to be an actor since childhood, his attempt to get admission into the National School of Drama in Delhi failed. But this did not stop him from coming to Mumbai and auditioning for films and TV shows.
When he was struggling to find work in the entertainment industry, he started working in bars until he was offered his first show Rajkumar Aryan in 2008. A few years ago, he was badly affected by COVID-19. He spent around 57 days in the hospital for treatment of the disease.
During this time, he lost hope and assumed that everything was over. But like a phoenix, he rose from the ashes and emerged stronger fighting his illness. After recovering from Covid-19, he resumed auditioning and finally got the chance to be a part of Kabir Khan’s Chandu Champion. Dave has been a part of films like Kaagaz 2, Bell Bottom and Pranaam.
