Laxmi Conned by Chhapaak Team? Seems Deepika Too is Involved

Recently, the team of Chhapaak launched the trailer amidst a huge media gathering in Mumbai. The film that stars Deepika Padukone in lead role along with Vikrant Massey in a pivotal role has been receiving accolades from all across.

As known to all, the film is based on the life of acid attack victim Laxmi Agrawal and her journey of attaining justice. Deepika broke down during the trailer launch while narrating about Laxmi's battle of survival and since then the film has been making all the right noises on social media.

However, if the latest reports are to be believed, Laxmi Agarwal, whose life as an acid attack survivor has inspired Chhapaak, is reportedly not been given proper financial due for the film rights.

According to Bollywood Hungama, a kind of discontent against the financial deal between Laxmi Agarwal and the makers of Chhapaak has been going on around the industry.

The report says that Laxmi has been paid merely Rs 13 lakh for the film rights and an ill-informed Laxmi happily signed the deal.

"She has been paid a mere Rs. 13 lakhs for the film rights. Laxmi signed happily. But now she is being advised to ask for more, and rightly so. She was ill-advised initially," a source was quoted saying by the entertainment portal.

But, if we look closely, since Deepika is one of the producers of the film, she can take the corrective measures and compensate by giving her proper compensation.

Earlier, Laxmi had said that she found it amazing how people were finding beauty in the 'burns' that Deepika Padukone sported for the movie. 

Laxmi was attacked when she was all of 15. Over the years, she has been vocal about her experience and actively campaigns against acid attacks.

She was on her way back home from music class when a man, twice her age, threw acid on her for rejecting his advances. Her face and other body parts got disfigured in the attack.
