Manu praised the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' star and wrote, "Finally, the Olympics have ended, and I saw #ChanduChampion as soon as I got home, and this film turned out much more relatable than I thought. The prep, struggles, failure, but never giving up... Hats off to @kartikaaryan for playing this role so effortlessly. Being an athlete myself, I know it's not easy... Especially the prep sequence.
