Deepika Padukone's upcoming film Chhapaak, based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Aggarwal has been making all the right kind of noises.
Ever since the trailer of the film was released, Chhapaak is being compared to Parvathy starrer Uyare. The Malayalam film, released in April 2019 is also based on acid attack survivors.
While Uyare revolves around Pallavi, an aviation student who survives the acid attack and how her life changes after the incident, Deepika's Chhapaak is based on the life and triumph of acid attack survivor Laxmi Aggarwal.
Talking about her movie Deepika Padukone has finally reacted to whether it is a concern for the makers on their film being compared to Uyare.
In a recent interview with Rajeev Masand, Deepika Padukone at a length spoke about how its completely fine to make films on such issues but everyone has a different way of portraying the story.
She said, “Everyone has a different way of telling it. Today, someone else can get up and decide to make a film on Laxmi or on acid violence. I think every film will have a different texture. I actually feel like it's a good thing. Cinema is such a powerful medium and that's why we chose to tell these stories. It's not like acid violence has not existed in the country, it has. It's just spoken about as much as other issues like rape or other issues. It's nice that even Shabana ji had done a movie last year. There have been a couple of them that have been. So, there's no concern."
The film is all set to release on January 10, 2020.
