Double XL Teaser: Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi Unleash their Sassy Side and Slam Body Shamers

Double XL Teaser: Bollywood actresses Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi unveiled the teaser of Double XL on Thursday, September 22. The divas in the teaser give a glimpse of their sassy characters as plus-size girls who just love to be themselves. It makes a remark on bodyweight stereotypes that plague society, in a humorous manner. The 30-second teaser of Double XL builds up the inquisitiveness for the film as Sonakshi and Huma can be seen engaging in a fun banter about how size issues are only for women.

In the hilarious teaser, Sonakshi questions what would happen if they started rendering the same treatment to men, where will they go. The film is a slice-of-life social comedy drama for which both the actresses underwent massive body transformation and had even piled on the extra pounds for their roles in the film, which has been shot extensively in India and the UK.

Double XL explores the journey of two plus-size women, one from heartland Uttar Pradesh and the other from urban New Delhi, and also stars Zaheer Iqbal and Mahat Raghavendra.

The teaser is extremely refreshing as the two are seen discussing how they have been fat-shamed all this while. Huma is seen asking Sonakshi, how they plan to lose the weight they have gained for this film. Sonakshi replies, ” Exactly how we did it when we dreamt of becoming heroines.”

Huma plays Meerut’s Rajshri Trivedi, and Sonakshi plays Delhi’s Saira Khanna. While the monologue continues, glimpses of women of all shapes and sizes are seen in the background. Sonakshi and Huma discuss how people gave them nicknames and trolled them for being of a certain weight. The teaser promises a harsh reality on the big screen to what appears to be a joy ride.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Rajesh Bahl & Ashwin Varde, Saqib Saleem, Huma Qureshi & Mudassar Aziz, Double XL is set to arrive in theatres on October 14.
