Talking about her film to NDTV, Deepika Padukone revealed the challenges she faced during the filming. Watch her interview here:

Previously, in an interview with news agency PTI, Deepika said: "I hope we won't have to constantly tell stories on acid attack survivors for us to see change. I hope with our film we begin to see that change for ourselves as a society and for acid attack survivors. If we don't, then we've done something wrong as a society. Cinema in itself is such a powerful medium that hopefully just through this one film we will hopefully be able to see that kind of change and impact."

Chhapaak will mark Deepika's first film after her wedding.
