Chhapaak is directed by Meghna Gulzar. Deepika had to wear prosthetics to play Laxmi's role. Wearing prosthetics took a toll on her and she talked about the same in an interview with Harper's Bazaar India. She said, "I'd say it's the toughest movie I have ever done. Not because of the role, but because of the prosthetics. I am extremely patient person, but I had to dig deep to go through that every single day for 42 days."

Chhapaak will hit the theatres on January 10, 2020.
