Ace filmmaker Meghna Gulzar is gearing up to bring a story that will not only change the way we view acid attack survivors, but also how the strength of one woman led to the regulation of acid sale in the country. Chhapaak tells the path-breaking story of Laxmi Agarwal, an acid attack survivor. A big encouragement that has come to the director and the entire film's way is being given a U certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification with no cuts.

Meghna is glad that the film can now reach out to more people. She says getting a U certificate is, "An immense validation. Particularly for a film like Chhapaak which could be perceived as difficult and graphic. This validation by the CBFC, that everyone should be able to see this film, is a valuable encouragement for Chhapaak."
