Right from the moment, Deepika Padukone's upcoming film, Chhapaak's trailer dropped online, fans are curious to know the story of Malti. The leggy lass in this one has shed her glamorous avatar and will be seen portraying the role of an acid attack survivor. The engaging part about the movie is that it's not a fictional tale, but is based on a real-life story of Laxmi Agarwal. The flick narrates the gruesome story of Malti (Deepika) and her roller-coaster journey from an acid attack survivor to being an inspiration to many. While in the trailer, we all saw Padukone in a de-glam look, here's a new still from the film which has gone viral on the web. Chhapaak First Look: Twitterati Can't Stop Cheering for Deepika Padukone's 'Malti'.

Quite different from the Malti we saw on the posters and in the trailer, in the latest one Deepika can be seen as a schoolgirl. In the picture, the Chhapaak actress is seen wearing a school uniform that consists of an ink-blue salwar kurta along with a white dupatta. Her hair is neatly done and is tied in a ponytail and she can be seen carrying a bag on her shoulders. Minimalism at its best! Chhapaak Song Nok Jhok: Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey's Unusual Chemistry is the Highlight of this Beautiful Composition (Watch Video).

Helmed by Meghna Gulzar, the flick will also see Vikrant Massey in an important role. Slated to hit the theatres on January 10, 2020, Chhapaak will not be a solo release as it will be locking horns with Ajay Devgn's Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior at the ticket window. So it's a real-life story vs a period drama. Let's wait and watch, stay tuned!
