A short clip featuring an intimate scene between Deepika and Vikrant on the sets has been acquired by fan clubs and is now viral on social media.
The video features Deepika and Vikrant sharing a kiss on a fort. And though, we could only capture a glimpse of the actors in the video, several fans gathered at the location to watch the shoot.
Watch the video:
The 33-year-old actress has been cast in Chhapaak as Malti, an acid-attack survivor. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Chhapaak is based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Vikrant reportedly plays her love interest in the film.
Here’s the first look of Deepika as Malti from Chhapaak:
Laxmi Agarwal was attacked when she was all of 15 and ever since, has been vocal about her experience and actively campaigns against acid attacks. Speaking at an event, Laxmi recently said, “I have never won a medal in school. Who would have thought about a biopic being made on me? I am thankful to Meghna ji for considering my work worthy enough to be converted into a film. I am also elated that a celebrity like Deepika is playing me. I just want to say that this film will be a tight slap on that attacker who thought he has ruined my life and to the society who looked at me like a criminal."
Chhapaak is also being co-produced by Deepika Padukone. The film is scheduled to release on January 10, 2020.
