Do you know Kriti Sanon found gaining weight for her role in Mimi tough? Worst, the actress, who is known for her svelte figure, had to force herself to eat as she had lost interest in food! Kriti gained 15 kilos for the film, in which she is essaying the role of a surrogate mother. 

"We had to shoot the pregnancy scenes and Laxman sir was very clear that it was necessary to gain weight for those scenes because he didn't want the character to have a chiseled face. Since I have a high metabolism, I knew this was going to be a task for me. I knew I had to increase my appetite and calorie intake, so I completely stopped working out, even Yoga! I used to have poori-halwa-chana as breakfast and sweets after every meal. Though I enjoyed initially, later I had to force myself to eat as I had lost interest in food. In fact, when I used to not feel hungry, I used to eat a cheese slice," the actress revealed.

Mimi narrates the story of a young aspiring actress who is a dancer in Mandawa and how she ends up being a surrogate for a couple. The film is directed by Laxman Utekar. "Mimi is the only film to which I said yes after hearing the idea but not the script. When I heard the script later, I realized the role has a lot to offer to me as an actor," revealed Kriti during a social media session. 

Meanwhile, rumours were rife that Mimi might follow the trend and opt for an OTT release. However, Utekar has shared that while the film is almost complete, there is some shoot left, which might lead to a delay in the release of the film!
