The Meghna Gulzar directorial is based on the life of an acid attack survivor named Laxmi Agarwal.
The 32-year-old actress will essay the role of Laxmi, who was attacked at the tender age of 15.
She then had to undergo several surgeries. Later, she took up the job of helping acid attack survivors and promoted campaigns to stop such attacks.
Her attacker, a 32-year old man, was an acquaintance of her family.
Laxmi Agarwal is a well-known advocate of stricter punishments in acid attack cases.
Co-produced by Deepika Padukone, Chhapaak will go on floors in March 2019.
Deepika Padukone was last seen on the big screen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, while Vikrant last appeared in AltBalaji's web series titled Broken but Beautiful, where he played the role of a heartbroken husband who lost the love of his life in a car accident.
