Huma Qureshi has made her presence felt with the strong characters she has played, and which have broken one stereotype after another. In ‘Double Xl’ too, she plays such a role alongside Sonakshi Sinha.
The movie, which is directed by Satramm Ramani, features the two of them playing plus-sized women, and for that they had to gain considerable weight. Talking about her role, Huma confessed that she had to put on roughly 20 kg for the role.
Though she has mentioned multiple times, in jest, that this was the best prep she ever had to do for a role since she got to eat everything she wanted, the actress definitely had her set of reservations.
