Earlier, Deepika had shared a behind-the-scenes picture from the table read of Chhapaak, where she was seen alongside her co-actor Vikrant Massey. Deepika will essay the role based on Agarwal, who was attacked at the age of 15. Agarwal had to undergo several surgeries. Later, she took up the job of helping acid attack survivors and promoted campaigns to stop such attacks. Her attacker, a 32-year old man, was an acquaintance of her family. Chhapaak will showcase her journey in the time after her attack spanning a decade, a significant part of the story is the game-changing PIL in the Supreme Court, which inspired the amendment on acid laws in 2013.

Deepika is also co-producing the film, along with Fox Star Studios.
