Filmmaker Meghna Gulzar is happy that her movie 'Chhapaak' starring Deepika Padukone in the lead role will now reach out to masses. The movie got a nod by the Central Board of Film Certification with no cuts. The movie is based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Deepika had to put on prosthetics to transform into an acid attack survivor.
Meghna, who has directed films like "Raazi" and "Talvar", said she has been fortunate all her films have been passed without a cut.
Talking about the same, Meghna said, ‘There was never a plan to tone down the film. Immense validation. Particularly for a film like 'Chhapaak' which could be perceived as difficult and graphic. This validation by the CBFC, that everyone should be able to see this film, is a valuable encouragement for ‘Chhapaak’.
There may have been a dialogue here and there that had to be replaced. But no cuts were requested. It leads me to believe that, like the audience, even the censor board recognizes the intent behind a film and its makers. And will not restrict a film's creative expression, if the intent is honest and clear.”
The movie also features Vikrant Massey and is scheduled to release on 10 January 2020.
