Writer Rakesh Bharti sues the makers of Chhapaak while claiming that he had developed this idea in 2014 and had even registered it with the screenwriters' association after contacting Laxmi Agarwal, the same year.

Rakesh Bharti told Mumbai Mirror, "He introduced me to Rukmani Sen, the content head at Fox, and I was in touch with her for a long time. She asked me to bring a big actress on board for the project. I approached Kangana Ranaut and was in discussion with her for seveneight months, at the end of which Rangoli (Chandel, Kangana's sister) told me that Kangana won't be able to do the film as Rangoli herself was an acid attack survivor, and she'll get emotional while doing it."

During the press conference, Rakesh Bharti also asserted that he had approached actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Shraddha Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan but things didn't work out!

While speaking to Mumbai Mirror, Bharti also said that he had approached the Chhapaak director, Meghna Gulzar in 2017. "I sent her a mail asking how she could make the film as I had already registered the subject. I told her if she wants, we can do the film together, but she did not reply." revealed Bharti.

Rakesh Bharti further added that he had also contacted Alok Dixit, the beau of Laxmi Agarwal and said, "He told me why are you troubling Meghna Ji, we are getting good footage with her. I just told him that even if he wanted to make the film with someone else, he should have told me and asked for an NOC."

The makers of Chhapaak haven't reacted to his claims yet.

Chhapaak is all set to hit the theatres on January 10, 2020.
