New Delhi: The teaser of Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi’s upcoming film ‘Double XL’ is finally out. The slice-of-life, comedy-drama directed by Satramm Ramani, questions bodyweight stereotypes that have long been plaguing our society, in the most humorous manner.
The makers also announced the release date of the film. The audience won’t have to wait much longer as the entertainer is all set to hit theatre screens on October 14, 2022.
Sonakshi and Huma took to their social media to share the teaser of the film with a caption that read, “From fries to fun..all good things in life come in #DoubleXL sizes! 😉”
The 30-second teaser shows Huma and Sonakshi sitting on a bench. Huma jokingly says that the world manages to find body fat even when a woman is wearing an oversized loose kurta. She adds, “No matter how much you tuck your tummy in, jeans always get stuck around the thighs.” Sonakshi then responds, “And boys’ demands are weird. They want a big bust and a small waist.” She then adds addressing to boys, “Tumse kuch chhota-bada maang liya to kahan jaaoge tum (What if we ask you for something big or small).”
Shot extensively in India and the UK, 'Double XL' explores a journey into the hearts of two plus-size women, one from heartland Uttar Pradesh and the other from the urban New Delhi, as they navigate through a society that’s often attributed beauty or attraction to a woman’s size.
Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi underwent a massive body transformation and had even piled on the extra pounds for their roles in the film. The film also features Zaheer Iqbal, Mahat Raghavendra among others.
The film is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, Wakaoo Films & Mudassar Aziz in association with T-Series Films. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Rajesh Bahl & Ashwin Varde, Saqib Saleem, Huma Qureshi & Mudassar Aziz.
