Let’s take a look at the photos of the celebs who reached the screening. Kartik Aaryan, who always plays comic and romantic roles, has appeared in a biographical drama film for the first time. His hard work is clearly visible in the role of Muralikant Petkar. The film starts from the 1950s. A boy Muralikant Petkar (Kartik Aaryan) is born in a small village in Maharashtra. He had only one dream since childhood that he would win a medal for the country in the Olympics. He is a fan of Dara Singh, so he starts wrestling. However, his family members do not like Murali’s wrestling. Some elite people of the village also do not want to see Murali progress. Muralikant runs away from the village. While running, he boards a train. In that train, Murali meets a man named Garnail Singh, who is going to join the army. He advises Murali that if he wants to go to the Olympics, he should first join the army. Murali joins the army by following his advice. After some time, he comes to know that there is no sport like wrestling in the Olympics, so he focuses on boxing, a similar competition. Muralikant starts training under Ali Sir (Vijay Raj). This Ali Sir plays the biggest role in Murali’s success. Meanwhile, Muralikant, Garnail Singh and Ali Sir get posted in Kashmir. Everything changes from here. Pakistan’s army suddenly attacks. Muralikant gets hit by 9 bullets in this war, yet he survives. However, his dream of going to the Olympics seems incomplete, because half of his body becomes paralyzed. Meanwhile, Muralikant meets Ali Sir again. Ali Sir once again awakens hope in Murali. If not boxing, he encourages Murali to represent India in swimming. In this way Muralikant Petkar goes to participate in the Paralympics on behalf of India. However, his journey there is not easy either. To know what happens next, you will have to watch the film.
