Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey are shooting for Chhapaak in Delhi.
Deepika Padukone is in Delhi for the shooting of Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak. A film based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal has been in news for many months now. Ever since the shooting of the film commenced in the capital, a handful of pictures of Deepika as Malti have surfaced on the internet. And now, a video of Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey filming a scene has been leaked online.
Clad in a yellow kameez and white salwar, Deepika, in the video, can be seen getting off a bike with Vikrant in one of the markets of Delhi. Soon, Vikrant crosses the street as Deepika waits for him.
Vikrant, who is working with Deepika for the first time, is seen dressed in blue shirt and black pants.
Talking about sharing screen space with Deepika Padukone in Chhapaak, Vikrant told a daily, "Working with an actress of her caliber is not just an opportunity but also a huge responsibility. I'm both nervous and excited."
Vikrant revealed that he had to put on 8 kgs to get into the character. "As the shoot progresses, I will have to load up another three so I have been binging on anything and everything, from sweets and saturated fats to junk food," added the actor.
It was in March that Deepika unveiled her look as Malti for Chhapaak. Her transformation into an acid attack survivor for her upcoming film has gained appreciation from all quarters. From fans to Bollywood stars, everyone praised Deepika Padukone for bringing the story of an acid attack survivor on the big screen with Chhappak.
If Rajkummar Rao called it "pathbreaking", Parineeti Chopra said "now that's an important film."
Chhapaak is set to hit the screens on January 10, 2020.
