MUMBAI: Deepika Padukone is all set to appear in Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak, which is based on a real-life story of an acid attack survivor Laxmi Agrawal. The trailer of the film released just a few days back and it has recevied a great response from the fans. Not just that, the film fraternity too is all praises for Deepika and her stellar performance.
And now, the latest one to praise the actress is English activist Katie Piper. She stated on Twitter, 'watching the trailer took my breath away. I had to watch 3-4 times for it all to sink in. The film explores what it really means to survive an acid attack in India.'
She further added, 'Based on true events, the film follows Malti's traumatic medical journey and her fight for justice in a legal battle against her attacker - a man who couldn't cope with her rejecting his advances. Malti's face is permanently scarred but not her spirit, that is unbreakable. An untold story of trauma and triumph.'
According to reports, Katie had acid thrown on her by her ex-boyfriend and an accomplice, causing major damage to her face and blindness in one eye in 2008.
Chhapaak is all set to hit the silver screens on 10th January!
