TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Deepika Padukone says the success of any film depends on its impact and longevity in the market. “I feel that now, more than ever before for me, success of a movie is really about the impact it is able to have on people”s lives.
Are we able to change mindsets? Are we able to make an impact? And don”t get me wrong, not every story needs to be hard-hitting. It could be a simple emotion, like joy or love. As long as it makes you feel something, think (about) something, and evoke emotions. I think, for me, that truly is the meter of success. Also, the film should have longevity.
A film that I would want to watch 10 years from now, for me, is a success,” said Deepika, at the launch of her upcoming film “Chhapaak”. The trailer launch was also attended by the film”s director Meghna Gulzar and Deepika”s co-star Vikrant Massey. In the film, Deepika portrays real-life acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Deepika also talked about working with prosthetics and make-up artists to get the look of an acid attack victim right.
