Deepika Padukone is currently busy shooting for her next project ‘Chhapaak’ by Meghna Gulzar. It is a biopic based on the life of Laxmi Agarwal, an acid attack survivor. In a recent event in Jaipur, Laxmi shared her happiness that a movie is made on her life and Deepika is playing her character.
As reported by The Times Of India, Laxmi said, “I have never won a medal in school. Who would have thought about a biopic being made on me? I am thankful to Meghna ji for considering my work worthy enough to be converted into a film.”
The survivor also added saying, “I just want to say that this film will be a tight slap on that attacker who thought he has ruined my life and to the society who looked at me like a criminal.”
Laxmi is completely spellbound with all the reactions she is getting from all across. She is overwhelmed with all the love and respect she has been garnering from all the people around her, owing to this biopic.
While talking about Deepika’s first look from ‘Chhapaak’, she said, “I saw a lot of makeup artists on social media recreating Deepika’s look from the film. Unhone vaisa makeup karke apni photos mujhe bheji hui hain. Kabhi socha nahi tha ki ek acid-attack survivor ke face ko bhi log recreate karenge.”
The film is slated to release on January 10, 2020.
