Chhapaak is based on the true story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. On Monday, the makers also announced that Chhapaak will hit the theatres on January 10, 2020.
Vikrant, in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, said, “Alok has been working with acid attack survivors for a while now and has been through the entire struggle with Laxmi. The film will showcase interesting dynamics between the two”.
Vikrant has been gearing up for the role of Alok for the past two months. The actor will soon commence shooting from March 29.
For the movie, Vikrant has already put on 8kg weight. “As the shoot progresses, I will have to load up another three so I have been binging on anything and everything, from sweets and saturated fats to junk food,” Vikrant said.
