Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak, starring Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey, has been making the right noise ever since it was announced. Based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, the film is already making a lot of buzz.

Filmmaker Meghna Gulzar opened up about how casting Deepika was significant for the role in Chhapaak. Talking to a leading daily, Meghna shared, "Every film has its own destiny. But casting Deepika was significant since the amplification of how horrific this [acid attack] is become that much more when you see a face like Deepika’s get disfigured. And hats off to Deepika for taking it head-on! In this film, she has shed everything that she is known for — the way she looks, the glamour, opulence, the set-up, the hair, makeup, costume, and even the jewellery. She is just with her craft".
