Kriti Sanon who plays the lead role in her latest film, Mimi talked about self-shouldering the film. Opening up on how she was ready to lead this film by herself the actress said, “The film happened at a time when I was craving to do a meaty part. I felt I was ready to take on a project and lead it, have it on my shoulders and take that responsibility. I love how such a sensitive, emotional subject became an extremely entertaining script with lots of humour in it. I like when we say something sensitive while making the audience laugh.”
Kriti who essays the role of a surrogate mother gained 15 kilos for her role. Talking about her growth in the industry, Kriti said, “I didn’t have any film school, theatre training, I was raw when I entered the industry. My workshops have been on film sets where I have learnt. I am constantly trying to evolve, get better, and think harder in terms of what more I can do. You have to take risks in your career otherwise your trajectory is going to be boring.”
While Mimi was initially scheduled to release on 30th of July, the makers decided to release it four days earlier than its scheduled date as an early birthday surprise for Kriti Sanon and released the film on her birthday eve on 26th July. The film also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Supriya Pathak, Sai Tamhankar and Manoj Pahwa and has been directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan. AR Rahman has composed the music for the film.
Kriti further has Pan-India film, Adipurush opposite Prabhas, Bhediya, Bachchan Pandey, Ganapath, Hum Do Hamaare Do along with another unannounced project in pipeline.
