Deepika Padukone wanted to do a light-hearted film after starring in Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani. But destiny had a different plan for her as she came across Meghna Gulzar who had the script of Chhapaak to offer. The movie is centred on a female protagonist, who is an acid attack survivor. Deepika not only agreed to do the film, but also readily joined in as co-producer. Playing the role of an acid attack survivor surely must have taken a toll on her emotional health. Deepika seems to have found a perfect way to unwind after shoots.

As per a report by Mid-Day, Deepika switches to watching the comedy web-series, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, to divert her mind after Chhapaak. The Marvelous Mrs Maisel focusses on a woman, in 1950's New York, who becomes a successful stand-up comic, much to society's dismay.

Is Deepika also taking notes for the light-hearted film she wants to do in the future? The web-series does have some interesting insights one could take note of. Vogue 73 Questions With Deepika Padukone: From Bollywood-Hollywood to Her Favourite Shows and Food, Chhapaak Actress Makes Interesting Revelations-Watch Video.

The first look of Deepika's Chhapaak was revealed a couple of weeks back. The picture stunned everyone. It was commendable that an actress let go of societal standards of vanity to play the role of an acid attack victim. Not many actresses would dare to play the role. Releasing on January 10, 2020, Chhapaak also stars Vikrant Massey.

Deepika has also revealed that she is working on a female superhero-based film, but it is still far ahead in the future. Also, if everything goes well, we might see her team up with Vin Diesel for the xXx: Return of Xander Cage sequel.
