Deepika Padukone recently released the first look from her upcoming film ‘Chhapaak’ and praises came pouring in from fans and film fraternity. Directed by Meghna Gulzar the film will tell the story of real life acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal.
But long before the film was in work or Deepika was chosen to play the strong role, she actually met Laxmi at an award ceremony in Delhi. Interestingly both of them were being honoured at the event for their own exceptional contribution in their fields.
Chhapaak will be Deepika’s first film after marriage and will return to work after 2 years since last film Padmaavat. She started shooting for the film on Monday and has been sharing BTS on her social accounts.
Padukone will also turn producer for the first time with this project slated to release in January 2020. Chhapaak is said to be about undying human spirit of not giving up despite adversities.
