Meghna Gulzar admits the JNU controversy surrounding Deepika Padukone impacted Chhapaak's intended focus on acid violence, leading to a dent in the film's box office performance.
The actor was set to discuss mental health issues amidst the coronavirus pandemic with the UN health agency chief on Thursday.
Good Newwz and Mardaani 2, both released in the last week of December and have gone on to do great business at the box-office.
On the other hand, Chhapaak featuring Deepika Padukone which released on relatively fewer screens than Tanhaji collected Rs 2.61 crores on Day 6.
Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak benefitted from the Makar Sankranti holiday.
Chhapaak is based on the real-life story of Laxmi Agarwal, an acid attack survivor, who helped pave the way for acid sale regulation in India.
While the 34-year-old actress is currently busy with the promotions of her recently released film Chhapaak, she is also acing her style.
Deepika, staying true to her favourite designer, opted for a Sabyasachi ensemble.
One of the major difference between Tanhaji and Chhapaak is the number of screens.
After Padukone's visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday, many appreciated her 'silent solidarity', but some others criticised her for 'supporting Leftists', saying it was a promotional stunt for her latest film 'Chhapaak'.
