Calling it the most "precious" film of her career, Deepika shared the news on social media along with a group picture from the last day of the movie's shoot.
She captioned the post, "& it's a wrap on THE MOST PRECIOUS film of my career...see you all at the movies!🎬 10.1.2020 #Chhapaak."
Deepika is portraying the character of an acid attack survivor and the first look of her character was widely applauded, where she looked absolutely unrecognizable.
The 33-year-old actor will essay the role of Laxmi, who at the age of 15, was attacked allegedly by a spurned lover in 2005. Laxmi 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 is a well-known advocate of stricter punishments in acid attack cases.
The film is being helmed by Meghna Gulzar and also stars Vikrant Massey. It is being co-produced by Deepika and Fox Star Studios.
This marks the first collaboration between Deepika and Vikrant. 'Chhapaak' also marks Deepika's production debut in Bollywood.
'Chhapaak' is slated to hit the theatres on January 10, 2020.
