“It was always scheduled to finish in 43 days...A wrap is an emotional experience, more so for #Chhapaak, because everyone working on it made it their own" - Meghna Gulzar
“I didn’t want people to watch this film with their eyes shut, the idea was not to create Laxmi’s face on Deepika but something that would be Deepika’s face had it been scarred the way Laxmi’s was,” - Meghna Gulzar #Chhapaak
“Yes, Laxmi (Agarwal) did visit the set a couple of times in Delhi and has been in constant touch through the writing and the prep. She knows the script and screenplay and is happy that the story is being told." - Meghna Gulzar
"But this isn’t just a story based on her (Laxmi) life, it focuses on the issue in a larger perspective...Yes, this is an important subject, but change comes at a later stage. The first step is awareness and acceptance. Everything else will be a result of that.” - Meghna Gulzar
