Chandu Champion Fetches A Staggering Amount For Post-Theatre Rights

Once again proving that  all the real financial action in the movie business is on the digital  platform, director Kabir Khan’s  underproduction biopic Chandu Champion  on the  life  of paralympics  winner  Murlikant Petkar, has been purchased for  satellite , OTT  and  music rights for a  staggering Rs 140 crores.

“140 crores is  an exceptional amount during these  times of  recession  in the  film industry. Interest in the  satellite  and OTT rights was  shown from the time when the  project was  announced even before  shooting began. That’s because  Kabir Khan has a track-record of terrific music in his  films. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is also known for his music and for successful  films. As for Kartik Aaryan, his Bhool Bhulaiya2  and  now Satyaprem Ki Katha have proved staying power at  the box office,”  says an informed  source.

Chandu Champion  features  Kartik Aaryan as the amputee hero who fought all odds to emerge  a winner. Kartik is being trained by a team  of  specialists from abroad to look  convincing in his first real-life role.

Interestingly Chandu Champion is being made as a big-scale big-screen lavish sports film.

According to an insider, it will be the  most expensive sports film of the country.
