Director Meghana Gulzaar released a video on the entire face making of Chhapaak and also shared her feelings through the entire film making process. There were nine looks in all which would showcase the transformative journey that Laxmi underwent. Looking at the video, the prosthetics artist has done a commendable job with Deepika's face. The last look had just one layer of skin and was the toughest look as it required a lot of minute detailing and this turned things around. It showed the entire process from making the mould with plaster-cast to actually showing the face through nine different stages. Director, Meghna Gulzaar repeatedly praised the prosthetic artist as she had done en excellent job.

Meghna and Deepika also shared its not just the physicality but also the emotion, not just the face but the body that needs to come through and that is the spirit of Malti. Deepika delivered a stellar character and got into the skin of Malti and played it with her entire heart and soul and has totally bought the trials and tribulations to all the viewers. The face of Chhapaak isn't just any face but its a face of strength, courage, and triumph.
