Chhapaak hits HC barrier on credit

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Saturday restrained the makers of Deepika Padukone-starrer Chhapaak from screening the film without giving credit to the lawyer who represented acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, on whose life the movie is based, for her inputs.

The court directed film director Meghna Gulzar and producer Fox Star Studios to acknowledge advocate Aparna Bhat in the opening credits.

For theatres where digital copies are provided, the condition will come into effect from January 15, and where physical copies are supplied, the changes shall be carried out with effect from January 18.
