Deepika Padukone commences look test for ‘Chhapaak’

Deepika Padukone’s next film ‘Chhapaak’, is based on a real life story of an acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, has started the look test for the film.

Reported on Deccan Chronicle, the pre-production work was shared on Instagram by director Meghna Gulzar, who was busy with the team finalising three different looks. A source shares that a lot of the hard work will sit with the make-up artists, who will transform Padukone’s face. “The script of the film has finally been locked and hence the pre-production work is going on at a frenetic pace. The director has a particular brief in mind since the film — that is based on Laxmi Agarwal’s life — has a certain look. Her look was different immediately after the attack and then there was some change post the surgeries. Those looks will be worked upon, which is why Deepika will have three different looks in the film, and once those looks are finalised, the film will mount the floorboards.”

As well as starring in ‘Chhapaak’, Padukone will be producing this film too, which is slated to go on floors by the end of March. The film will also star Vikrant Massey, who replaces Irrfan Khan after he was diagnosed with cancer.
