Deepika Padukone will be next seen in Chhapaak, which is based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal.

Angered by Deepika Padukone's open support for JNU students, who were attacked by a masked mob on Sunday, Twitter trolls invented a reason to outrage and call for a boycott of her latest film Chhapaak. Internet users are now trolling the actress and the makers for 'changing the religion of the man who threw acid on Laxmi Agarwal'. Chhapaak is based on the story of Laxmi Agarwal, who at 15 was attacked with acid by a man called Naeem Khan. In Chhapaak, Naeem Khan has been allegedly replaced by Rajesh, say trolls on Twitter. Fact: It hasn't. In Chhapaak, the attacker's name has been changed from Naeem Khan to Basheer Khan. Rajesh is the name of one of Deepika's friends in the film.

From #NaeemKhan and #Rajesh to #NameItLikeBollywood, several hashtags are trending on Twitter as internet users are calling the makers hypocrites for changing the religion of the attacker of Laxmi Agarwal.

One Twitter user wrote, "Why not the real culprit name (Nadeem Khan)? Why a Hindu name is used instead? (sic)"

"Deepika padukone changed the culprit in her upcoming movie from Nadeem Khan to Rajesh. If she doesn't have the guts to show reality in her movie that's based on a reality, then sorry she is a fake personality who cannot be considered as a role model.... (sic)," wrote another.

Understand the chronology.

- Chhapak film is based on Laxmi Agarwal an acid attack survivor.

- Nadeem Khan is the name of the person who throws acid in real life.

- In film name is changed to Rajesh ... a Hindu name

So Deepika's visit to JNU is not surprising.#DeepikaPadukone pic.twitter.com/QkBmNUKZWL Vishal Pandey (@VishalK03006226) January 8, 2020
