Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold medallist, said he is getting the Arjuna Award (Lifetime) because of producer Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Chandu Champion'. "This award is due to Sajid as no one gives such a big honour to handicaps...This movie has brought recognition to the struggles and achievements of athletes with disabilities," Petkar added. Kartik Aaryan played Petkar in the movie.
