"With him it's t just about character or film but everything that goes IN making it, all hurdles. So by end of it you're exhausted for various reasons. With 'Chhapaak', process was exhausting. We h to get prostics done for like three hours and ar hour to take it off. Emotionally I have never been as burnt out as I felt after that," she said. Deepika, who turns producer with project, also shared how she got character out of her system.

"On last day I asked Meghna to get me an extra piece. We got that, only for me to burn it at pack up. It was a hospital scene, we finished that and I took off my face (prostic), h a shower, took this extra piece, went to a corner, threw alcohol on it and burnt it. I watched it burn and stood re as I needed to see it burn completely. I wanted everything to become ash. I stood re till that entire process was over and only n felt a part of it h left my system, my body. But it's t entirely possible as ne of se characters leave your system. As of w, this has been toughest film I've done," she ded.

"Chhapaak", backed by Fox Star Studios, is scheduled to release on January 10, 2020.
