After taking a break of almost a year, Deepika Padukone will soon be back with a bang and this time around we wouldn’t get to see the pretty lass looking sexy as ever because her next venture titled Chhapaak will see her portray the role of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. The film is being directed by Meghna Gulzar and is being produced by Deepika. Meghna confirmed that Deepika who played one of the most beautiful queens that ever lived in Padmaavat will be seen in a disfigured avatar.
Talking at an event in Chennai, Meghna said, “You won’t be seeing Deepika, you know. You will be seeing a disfigured Deepika. There is an uncanny similarity between the survivor and Deepika.” This is the first time that we will get to see Deepika in a different avatar. In fact, rarely have our Indian film heroines have taken up roles where they are not dolled up or have resorted to using prosthetics to look different and ordinary from their glamorous selves.

Deepika had announced the film’s title in December on her Instagram with a post that read, “A story of trauma and triumph and the unquashable human spirit.” The film also stars Vikrant Massey in the lead opposite Deepika. We can't wait to see the first look of Deepika from the film.
