Deepika
Padukone
has
turned
producer
for
the
first
time
with
Chhapaak.
The
actor
was
so
blown
away
by
the
script
of
this
Meghna
Gulzar
movie,
that
she
not
only
decided
to
act
in
it,
but
also
back
it
financially.
So,
it
wouldn't
be
far-fetched
to
say
Deepika
is
possessive
about
this
movie,
which
showed
in
her
response
when
she
was
asked
if
hubby
Ranveer
Singh
had
put
money
in
Chhapaak.
During
the
title
song
launch
of
Chhapaak,
a
reporter
asked
Deepika
if
Ranveer
had
put
money
in
the
film.
Deepika
took
offence
to
this
question
and
replied,
"Excuse
me,
yeh
mere
khud
ke
paise
hain.
Kisne
bola
yeh?
Excuse
me,
It
is
my
own
money."
But
it
was
all
good
as
the
audience
erupted
in
laughter
over
the
question
and
DP's
reply.
Meghna
added
that
it
is
wrong
to
assume
that
Ranveer
put
his
money.
Deepika
also
spoke
about
how
she
does
not
consider
the
movie
to
be
a
risk.
"People
are
saying
that
we
have
taken
a
big
risk,
but
I
don't
think
of
this
(film)
as
a
risk.
It
is
something
that
she
(Gulzar)
has
lived
with
for
so
many
years.
As
a
human
being
and
a
director,
she
was
ready
to
tell
the
story.
She
came
to
me
with
it
and
I
instantly
said
yes
to
the
film,
so
there
hasn't
been
over-thinking
or
over-processing.
I
think
whatever
we
have
done
to
make
this
film
was
done
very
instantly
and
instinctively,
and
with
a
lot
of
heart.
We
want
people
to
receive
this
film
the
way
we
have
made
it," she
said.
Chhapaak
also
stars
Vikrant
Massey
alongside
Deepika.
The
film
is
inspired
by
the
story
of
Laxmi
Agarwal,
an
acid
attack
survivor.
Chhapaak
hits
screens
on
January
10,
2020.
