Uske baad humein kuch bolna hai iske baare main toh maine socha nahi tha (I thought that we will be called upon the stage after you watch the trailer. I didn't know that I will have to speak after that). It's not often when you come across a story where you know instantly in the first few minutes of the meeting that you will be doing this film. I knew I wanted to do the film but wasn't sure how will I prepare for the film," Deepika said.
Box office success of Chhappak
