Right from Deepika playing the acid attack survivor to fighting for justice, Meghna Gulzar ensured to keep every aspect of Laxmi Agarwal’s life in this film and well, she sure did a fabulous job. As a part of the tradition, as soon as the trailer is released, the makers start making their promotional plans so that the film reaches every nook and corner. Apparently, Chhapaak will not be promoted in Delhi and the reason behind is the Jamia Millia protest that has made the place chaotic.
