Mimi : an entertaining take on surrogacy

Kriti Sanon has always had a lean figure and it will be interesting to see how her character would look in the film based on the topic of surrogacy. As per reports, Kriti said it will be a challenge for her to gain so many kilos as she will have to fight against her body's metabolism for transforming into the role.

She has reportedly increased her calorie intake to gain the kilos in a short amount of time by following a no holds barred diet which includes cheese, desserts, ghee, junk food, fried stuff, potato, sweet potatoes, and other such high carb and fatty food items.
