Actress will also play the lead in the film, which is the story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, and will be directed by Meghna Gulzar.

Mirror
(February 10, 2017) was the first to report that Meghna Gulzar had zeroed in on the story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal for her next directorial. Now, we have learnt that this will be Deepika Padukone’s next film after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. And she will not only be playing Laxmi on screen but is also producing the yet-untitled film as she feels very strongly about the subject.

“When I heard this story, I was deeply moved as it’s not just one of violence but of strength and courage, hope and victory. It made such an impact on me, that personally and creatively, I needed to go beyond and so the decision to turn producer,” the actress asserts.

In a first, Karan Johar gets Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone to open the sixth season of Koffee With Karan

Filmmaker gets Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone to open his chat show, while Ranbir Kapoor throws ‘blockbuster’ bash.

Laxmi who comes from an underprivileged background was 15, waiting at a bus stop in Delhi, in 2005, when she was attacked. Her 32-year-old assailant was an acquaintance of the family who harboured a one-sided attraction towards her. It turned into a deadly grouse when the teenager spurned the advances of this unlikely suitor.

Using Laxmi’s story as a lens, we are attempting to explore these aspects and the consequences of acid-related violence in our society. This’s what makes this must-told story relevant. Awareness is the first step towards change.

Meghna Gulzar

For two years, the disfigured girl rarely stepped out of her home. But in 2006, she did file a PIL seeking the framing of a new law or an amendment to existing criminal laws like IPC, Indian Evidence Act and CrPC which deal with the offence, making a fervent plea for a total ban on the sale of acid. In 2013, in the wake of the Nirbhaya incident, the Supreme Court ruled in her favour. The Section 326 A in the Indian Penal Code lays down the punishment for acid-throwing. The minimum punishment is 10 years imprisonment which can extend up to life imprisonment with a fine. A separate law to punish offenders in such cases was passed, along with amendment of law on sexual offences.

Today, acid cannot be sold to anyone below 18 years and requires a photo identity card for its purchase. Laxmi is the director of Chhanv Foundation, an NGO dedicated to helping acid attack survivors. She’s opened cafes in Lucknow and Agra managed entirely by these survivors and now goes by the name of Laxmi SAA (Stop Acid Attacks).

Through Laxmi’s story, the film attempts to understand the on-ground consequences of surviving an acid attack in India, as also it’s medical, legal and social aspects. It showcases Laxmi’s journey over 10 years following the attack, with a significant part focussing on the game-changing PIL which inspired the amendment. It impresses that despite regulation in acid sale and changes in legislation, such attacks remain a prevalent danger, with treatment, compensation, rehabilitation and inclusion of the survivors remaining real challenges.

Meghna who began talking to Laxmi on the phone in mid-2016 had told Mirror earlier that she was initially nervous because filmmakers tend to romanticise life. But after she promised to tell her story like it is, Laxmi started to open up to her, even came down to Mumbai with her family.

The story made such an impact on me that personally and creatively, I needed to go beyond and so the decision to turn producer

–Deepika Padukone

“Using Laxmi’s story as a lens, we are attempting to explore these aspects and the consequences of acid-related violence in our society. This’s what makes this must-told story relevant. Awareness is the first step towards change,” asserts Meghna, pointing out that like Talvar, with various narratives intertwined, the film is a gritty, investigative piece, interspersed with a courtroom drama. “If the story is to be summed up in one line, then it’s one of triumph, of an ‘unquashable’ human spirit.”
When quizzed about why she thinks Deepika is the best choice to play Laxmi, the Raazi director points out that it is an emotionally and physically challenging role. “I was instinctively convinced that Deepika would do justice to the character and the story. Also, her physicality matched with what I’d imagined for Laxmi’s character. I’m grateful and encouraged that she was so spontaneous in her decision to do the film. When you take a face as beautiful as hers and portray her as an acid attack survivor, the magnitude of the violence and damage is that much more resounding,” she says.

Deepika adds that she has been “greatly impacted” by Meghna’s work and “beyond thrilled” to be collaborating with her. “We look forward to commencing our journey on the film,” she signs off.
