Along with Luv Ranjan's untitled film co-
starring Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor
which she has reportedly just accepted,
Deepika Padukone is also believed to
have said yes to Meghna Gulzar's next on
acid attack survivor Lakshmi Agarwal.
Lakshmi, who is now 29, survived a
horrific acid attack in New Delhi in 2005
when she was just 15. She was attacked
by a man whose advances and proposal
she had rejected. She survived nine
major surgeries and went on to become
the hope for all acid victims in the world.

Meghna had announced she wanted to
make a film on Lakshmi's story of
courage in the face of extreme adversity
and her endeavor to rehabilitate other
survivors and encourage them to come
out in society and embrace their scars. At
that time, Meghna was busy
shooting Raazi in Kashmir. Now it is
understood that a script is being written
and Meghna and Deepika are in talks.
Happily, Lakshmi's real story has
romance in it as well. While doing a
campaign for the NGO Stop Acid Attacks,
she met and fell in love with journalist
and social activist Alok Dixit. They
decided to spend their lives together and
now have a baby named Pihu who is
four. Together, Lakshmi and Alok work
to help and support acid attack victims
from across the country.

Now that she has reportedly got her
"Lakshmi, Bollywood is waiting to see
when Meghna takes up this biopic on
the acid attack survivor. After tasting
success with Raazi, the director is
believed to have agreed to direct Ronnie
Screvwala's film on the illustrious life of
Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
She had said at the time that the
Manekshaw subject requires serious
research. Just about then, Meghna also
announced that she wanted to make the
film on Lakshmi whom she had met in
2016. And it was rumoured that she had
plans to take up the hijack of IA flight
814 in 1999 as a film subject. But
Lakshmi appears to have won and
Deepika is reported to be playing the title
role.
