Chhapaak: Meghna Gulzar reveals Deepika Padukone will be seen in a 'disfigured' avatar in the film

Last year has proven to be quite amazing for Deepika Padukone. The actress began 2018 on ahigh note with the success of Padmaavat and ended it on a high after getting married to Ranveer Singh in Italy's Lake Como. Now, Deepika is all set to be back on the silver screens with Meghna Gulzar's next titled Chhapaak. She will be seen playing the protagonist in the film which is a biopic of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. 

While her fans are used to seeing Deepika in a glam avatar on the big screens, looks like that is not going to happen in Chhapaak. Why do we say so? Well, Meghna Gulzar herselft spilled the beans recently and shared that DP will be seen in a disfigured avatar in the film. 

Meghna was speaking at the 'Lit for Life 2019' event in Chennai. Talking about her upcoming film with DP, she 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." 

Chhapaak marks the first collaboration between Meghna and Deepika. Deepika will not just essay the survivor in the film, but will also be producing it. The movie also stars Vikrant Massey as the male lead opposite DP. The prosthetics and other tests for the film were recently conducted and going by the grapevine, the film is ready to begin rolling.
