Earlier, Chhapaak’s filmmaker Meghan Gulzar sipped some beans about the film. Speaking of how perfect Deepika is to play the female lead, Meghan said she found “an uncanny similarity” between Laxmi and Deepika.

However, the filmmaker also shared that she was like letting her “imaginations go wild.” Because she didn’t think Deepika Padukone could “give this thought a moment.” No prize for guessing, she was stunned when DP said yes to her project.

The film is scheduled to release on 10 January 2020.
