Mimi will always be an iconic film in Indian cinema, especially made memorable due to the lead star, Kriti Sanon and her impeccable performance as Mimi. Be it the dance number Param Sundari or her bold and upfront personality or growth of her character in the film, Kriti really ate the cake with this one and became known as a top notch performer along with being the big star she always was.
She left no stone unturned in her prep for the film as the actress gained 15 kgs to play the surrogate mother and to portray it with complete trueness, even though she faced quite the challenge when she had to lose all the weight while moving on to her next projects as the lockdown hit. But her dedication is well known, the actress lost the weight from home via zoom classes. She also worked properly on her dialect and truly lost herself in the character of Mimi and is clearly winning all the sweet fruits for her over the top efforts.
Kriti and Alia have been ruling the roost for a while now, and continue to be the biggest actresses in Indian entertainment currently. Today, this win for the actresses is even bigger, considering both of them solely led their respective films and showed the power that female in cinema have today. On the work front, Kriti will next be seen in Ganapath part 1, a robotic love story with Shahid Kapoor as well a couple other unannounced projects.
