Kriti Sanon Opens Up On Mimi Transformation; Reveals ‘Crazy Comedy’ With Rajkummar Rao Pushed Ahead Due To COVID-19

One of the most talented actresses of Bollywood, the gorgeous Kriti Sanon has been extremely busy working on her much-awaited project Mimi. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films, the drama film is a remake of the 2011 Marathi hit, Mala Aai Vhhaychy! Slated to hit theaters in July this year, Mimi will feature Kriti in the role of a surrogate mother.

The actress has worked very hard for the project and gained 15 kgs to do justice to her character. In a chat with Mumbai Mirror, Kriti opened up about the transformation and shared, “I didn't think I would be able to do this because I have always been skinny. In fact, I can eat everything, from pizza to pasta and dal makhani because I'm blessed with good metabolism. I hope I haven't lost that because of this film.” She went on to add, “But there were days when I had to eat even when I was stuffed. So, when I see the difference all that effort made to my character on screen, I feel satisfied today.”

Soon after Mimi, Kriti will join forces once again with her Bareilly Ki Barfi co-star Rajkummar Rao. The film will follow the life of a couple, both orphans, who decide to adopt parents. Talking about the Abhishek Jain directorial, Kriti stated, “Mimi's last schedule was intense and hectic, so I'm looking forward to this crazy comedy. The timing is perfect and I'm excited to team up with Raj after Bareilly Ki Barfi and also work with great actors like Paresh Rawal sir and Dimple (Kapadia) ma'am.”

Sadly, Kriti and Rajkummar’s film has fallen prey to the coronavirus scare like many other Bollywood projects. Speaking about it to Pinkvilla, the actress shared, “The comedy with Raj, Paresh Rawal and Dimple Kapadia was supposed to start on March 15 but it has been pushed for now, till the scenario gets better.”
