I am so happy that Deepika is playing the role in my biopic, tells Laxmi Agarwal!

After hit films like Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani, Deepika Padukone will be seen essaying the role of an acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Deepika Padukone, inarguably, is the best choice of actor to depict this role and just like us, even Laxmi resonates the same thought. “I am so happy that Deepika is playing the role. I have no right to judge her. How can I judge someone for something which I can’t do. She has played wonderful characters on screen and I believe she will give her best. I want to thank Deepika ji, Meghna ji and the entire team who will be working together on the film,” Laxmi said to a daily.

 

Acid- attack survivor Laxmi is content that with this biopic, Meghna Gulzar will help in spreading awareness about acid attacks and allow victims to come and talk about it.  “I had signed the movie in 2016 and the official announcement has been made now,” tells Laxmi. Although the movie is being made on the life of Laxmi, we wonder if she would want to act in the film. But not acting, Laxmi, if given a chance, would want to sing. “Yes. I will love to sing for my biopic if given a chance,” tells Laxmi.

 

As per earlier reports, Laxmi Agarwal was 15 when a 32-year-old man attacked her with acid. As he was in a one-sided love with Laxmi, to avenge his love, he threw acid on Laxmi. Post the incident, Laxmi has been talking about acid attacks and garnering support for a petition to curb the sale of acids in the country.
