The makers of Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Chhapaak', based on acid attack survivor Laxmi Aggarwal, told the Delhi High Court on Monday that the victim's lawyer was given credit in the film screened in Indian theatres. However, the lawyer was not given credit in the international releases of the movie as the filmmakers thought it had to be done here only. The submission was made before Justice Najmi Waziri on behalf of the film's director Meghna Gulzar and producer Fox Star Studios against whom contempt proceedings have been moved for violation of the court's direction to give credit to Aggarwal's advocate -- Aparna Bhat -- in the movie which released on January 10. The lawyers appearing for Gulzar and Fox Star told the court they will take instructions on a possible solution and the court, thereafter, listed the matter for hearing on January 29.

When Deepika Padukone announced that she’d be portraying Laxmi Agarwal; one of the acid attack survivors, the entire world went into a wave of confusion about how would she be able to pull that off. But, on Human Rights Day, i.e. 10th December 2019, Deepika Padukone dropped the trailer of her movie, and the same confused people were evident that there is nothing in this world that Deepika can’t pull off.
