Deepika on getting the look of acid attack survivor right for ‘Chhapaak’

Deepika Padukone’s next film is Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Chhappaak’, the trailer of which was unveiled earlier today. The actress spoke about working with make-up artistes and using prosthetics to achieve the look of Malti, her character.

“It is so Ironic, even I didn’t know what I would feel when I saw myself in the mirror for the first time (after make-up). I remember that moment very clearly, when we were doing the look test at Fox Studio office. It took me four to five hours for the look, and when I did look at myself in the mirror, I told Meghna that I still felt like myself. Nothing had changed. That is the day I found my character, and I knew what I need to do in this movie. I don’t think we are defined by our external appearances,” said Padukone, talking at the launch of the trailer, as quoted by E Times.

Padukone produced the film along with Gulzar and Fox Star.
