Even as the Ajay Devgn-Kajol starrer Tanhaji The Unsung Hero is breaking every other record of Bollywood’s box office till date by amassing over 295 cr, less than a month since it was released in theatres the world over, the Deepika Padukone produced and Meghna Gulzar directed issue based film Chhapopak is all set to make its digital premiere on Hotstar VIP. The movie starring Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey inspired by true events is now available on Hotstar VIP from 16th February, according to the portal Television Post.

Looking at acid violence through the lens of survivor Laxmi Agarwal, Chhapaak tells the story of a girl (Malti) coming from a humble background. The movie also stars  Madhurjeet Sarghi. Chhapaak highlights the trials and triumphs of Malti, an acid attack survivor. From the investigation of the attack to the court proceedings, the medical treatment to the emotional healing – the movie showcases the power of the human spirit.

Deepika Padukone said, “Chhapaak is not just a film; it is an ode to the strength and spirit of every acid-attack survivor and we truly hope that the audience is able to embrace their incredible journey, as Chhapaak makes its digital premiere on Hotstar VIP”

Vikrant Massey said, “When I first heard about Laxmi, my heart sank. I felt so melancholic, for being unable to do something about the situation. Amol, my character in Chhapaak, is shown as strong support to Malti; but in reality, I lived that melancholy all over again while shooting for the film. Having said that, I also gradually felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction, as Malti and Amol, supported by an army of people write history together. Watch Malti’s grace, grit, and courage as Chhapaak makes its digital-first premiere on Hotstar VIP!”
