Kriti Sanon who had to gain 15 kgs for her next film Mimi, revealed that her fans now call her Chubby Sanon. When followers asked her to retain the new look, she got amazed and denied to do so.

Mumbai: Kriti Sanon recently wrapped up shooting of her next film Mimi, based on a young surrogate mother for which she had to gain 15 kgs.

Kriti said that she has been getting amusing requests from fans to remain '15 kilos plus' and not lose all the extra weight. To which she said in an interview with leading portal, "I have gotten this comment a lot. It’s really funny that my fans have started calling me chubby Sanon. It’s too funny. It’s really cute and I like the nickname also."

However, Heropanti actor denied to do so and facetiously said that she won't be able to perform songs like Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe from Stree.

Another user asked Kriti about her experience of gaining weight for the film. "It was something that actually my whole team thought I won’t be able to do. My body type is such that my metabolism is high," she said.

"Initial target was 10 kilos and when I gained about 7, they realised that I am tall and it doesn’t show as much. That’s when my director Laxman (Utekar) sir told me that I think you will have to gain weight to 15 for it to show on your face and on the screen," she further added.

Helmed by Laxman Utekar, Mimi also features Pankaj Tripathi, Manoj Pahwa, Sai Tamhankar and Supriya Pathak in pivotal roles.
