2021 was a reassuring year for Huma Qureshi. Riding high on the success of her digital outing, Maharani — which won her both awards and accolades — Qureshi is ready to make bold choices, including calling the shots as producer for her next, Double XL.
With a film that tackles the mental agony that results from being body-shamed, Qureshi is addressing a subject that hits closer to home. “This is a film that I, just like a lot of other girls, identify with. It could be deemed brave, but it is really just the need of the hour. There is a lot of conversation around body-image issues. As aritstes, it is our responsibility to put out stories like these. Above all, it is essentially a funny, light-hearted entertainer that attempts to make a social change,” says the actor, aptly roping in none other than Sonakshi Sinha for the part of the protagonist.
