'She emptied herself to make Malti': Vikrant Massey on 'Chhapaak' co-star Deepika Padukone

Chhapaak is one of the foremost looked forward to films of 2020 for varied reasons.

The film is an ode to acid attack survivors and initiates a conversation about the horrendous crimes that are administered against women.

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film stars Deepika Padukone within the role of Malti, an acid attack survivor, and Vikrant Massey who plays her partner and confidant.

During an interview with a news website, speaking about the film and its importance, Virant said, "I just hope with this film a conversation starts on why acid attacks happen on women, and what actions got to be taken to prevent the heinous crime. it's not that we don't know, it's just that we ignore."

Further talking about what makes the film so special, "Seldom has it happened that we glance beyond appearance when it involves a romance. In our cinema, we always prioritize vanity and therefore the great thing about the girl. Here may be a romance where the boy and therefore the girl falling crazy due to the individuals they're. This a part of the narrative is extremely special," he said.

Vikrant also had nothing but praises to shower on his co-star Deepika. He said that as an actress, for the character of Maltii, Deepika gave her all which is commendable.

"I don't know what process she follows to make a personality but from my observation, I can say she internalizes the character she portrays on screen and, at times, it takes a toll on her. i do know that the character of Malti is special for her and it impacted her as a performer. there have been days when she would respond like Malti even off-camera. i feel as an actress, she has given her all, emptied herself to make Malti. Perhaps that's why she was overwhelmed during the trailer launch of the film," shared Vikrant.

Chhapaak will release on January 10, 2020, and can lock horns with Ajay Devgn, Kajol, and Saif Ali Khan starrer Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
