The slice-of-life comedy-drama, directed by Satramm Ramani, challenges bodyweight stereotypes that have long plagued us as a society. Double XL is a journey into the hearts of two plus-size women as they navigate a culture that frequently associates a woman’s attractiveness or beauty with her size. It was shot in Meerut, Delhi, also London.
According to the trailer, Double XL looks like a fun ride with a lot of potentials to spark social conversation about the subject. While Huma Qureshi plays a sports presenter. Sonakshi Sinha plays an emerging stylist, both of whom gained weight for the film.
The film also stars Zaheer Iqbal and Mahat Raghavendra as the male protagonists and a talented ensemble cast who all make an impact.
Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan makes his Hindi film debut, a special treat for fans.
“This is an important film that addresses a coming-of-age subject in the most lighthearted aslo fun manner,” director Satramm Ramani says. “Double XL was a film in the making.”
“I honestly believe that women will connect with the film and relate to it on many levels,” says Sonakshi Sinha. It’s unapologetically unpretentious also appeals to almost everyone.”
“What began as a fun, casual conversation among friends culminated in this film,” says Huma Qureshi. It was the best impromptu decision we could have made, also I couldn’t be happier. The topic pique my interest because it needs to be address through pop culture.”
Zaheer Iqbal is very excited about his second film. “I’m extremely proud to be a part of this film,” he says, “also it’s past time we accept. That beauty does not correlate to one’s size or numbers on a scale.”
