The cast and crew of Chhapaak
Meghna Gulzar's directorial Chhapaak, which is creating an uproar across quarters for its relevant narrative, is based on the true story of an acid attack survivor, Laxmi Agarwal. The film has recently wrapped up its Delhi schedule. In order to mark the wrap, the director shared an adorable picture with Deepika Padukone and the entire team. The film features Deepika Padukone alongside Vikrant Massey.
Ever since the announcement of Deepika Padukone slipping into the character of an acid attack survivor broke, the film has already generated headlines all over. The reason being that instead of choosing a glamorous role, the leading lady of Bollywood is playing a character which challenges the notion of beauty amongst masses.
Sharing the picture on her social media handle, Meghna Gulzar wrote, "Happily halfway done! Delhi schedule wrap for team #chhapaak @deepikapadukone@vikrantmassey87 @foxstarhindi"
