Ranveer-Deepika not to celebrate their first Holi together: Here's why

Since this is Deepika's first Holi after her wedding, she was asked of the plans.

To which she replied that she'll be leaving for Delhi on Holi to begin shooting for her movie Chhapaak on Monday.

"It's a very important film, which needs to be told. There's no celebration, just a lot of preparation," she added.

Chhapaak is based on acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal.

For the uninitiated, Chhapaak will feature the story and struggles of Laxmi, the poster girl of acid attack survivors in India.

Laxmi was attacked in 2005 by a 32-year-old man named Gudda aka Naeem Khan, whose proposal she had rejected. She was 15 then.

Her face and other body parts were naturally disfigured in the attack but it didn't diminish her courage and poise.

Meghna Gulzar, the director of the film, is ecstatic about the project, and recently spilled beans about Deepika's look in Chhapaak.

She stated that the actress would be unrecognizable in the movie.

"You won't be seeing Deepika, you know. You will be seeing a disfigured Deepika. There is an uncanny similarity between the survivor and Deepika," she added.

Well, this certainly got us excited.

Deepika is also looking forward to the movie, since Chhapaak is based on a strong story.

In an interview, she had stated that the film would narrate a story of trauma, triumph and the indomitable human spirit.

In fact, she further revealed that she agreed to do the movie within just five minutes of narration.

Interestingly, this will also be her maiden production venture.
