Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has waived off tax for the movie ‘Chhapaak’.
In the film, Deepika Padukone is playing the character of Laxmi Agrawal, an acid attack survivor. The film will be released across the country on January 10.
‘Chhapaak’ is story of Laxmi Agrawal, an acid attack survivor. Born in Delhi’s middle class family, was only 15-year-old when a man has thrown acid on her face in 2005, while she was going to her music class. The man was twice of her age and she had rejected his advances. She later filed PIL against the sale of acid in the country and sought compensation.
The Supreme Court ruled in her favour by restricting the acid sale. Laxmi runs a NGO for all the acid attack victims.
