Lawyer Aparna Bhat has filed contempt petition in Delhi High Court against Deepika Padukone and Chapaak makers for not giving due credits to her despite court orders dated January 11, 2020.

The plea has sought initiation of contempt proceedings against the makers of the film for non-compliance of the High Court order directing respondents to give credit to the Adv. Aparna Bhat for her contribution in the making of the film.

Adv. Aparna Bhat represented Laxmi, the acid attack victim on whose life the movie Chhapaak is based.

Speaking to sources Adv. Aparna Bhat said that, "I have filed this petition as the makers have not included the credits in the copy of the film which is being screened internationally."

However, Bhat acknowledged that due credits were given to her in the movie which is being screened in India.
