‘Chhapaak’ ordered to make a tweak in film by Patiala House Court

This week’s latest release ‘Chhapaak’ has been ordered by the Patiala House Court to give credit TO the lawyer of Laxmi Agarwal, the acid attack survivor on whom the film is based on.

Aparna Bhat was unhappy about not being credited in the film, who was Agarwal’s lawyer for the past ten years. She had moved the court seeking a stay on the film.

On her Facebook, Bhat said, “Have never been the one to demand attention to my work. Deeply disturbed by the turn of events post watching Chhapaak. Compelled to take legal action to protect my identity and preserve my integrity. Represented Lakshmi in her criminal trial in Patiala House Courts… tomorrow someone will represent me in my cause…Ironies of life.”

She said, “I thank all my friends who endorsed my contribution and challenged team Chhapaak in failing to say even “Thank you!!a. I cannot match the powers of these mighty producers of Bollywood but keeping quiet will further endorse injustice.”

“I have decided to take my cause to the next level. Ready to face the consequences,” she concluded.
