A writer has approached the Bombay High Court against the makers of the movie 'Chhapaak' starring Deepika Padukone claiming that he had originally penned the acid attack survivor's story on which the film is based.

The petition was filed by Rakesh Bharti who is seeking credit as one of the writers of the film. Bharti claimed that after conceptualising the idea for the movie, he had approached several artistes, but the film's production could not be started.
