It's based on a true incident that happened when a foreign couple left the child in the surrogate womb and vanished. For example, Mimi is based many years ago when foreign couples were allowed to come in and have a surrogate mother here. I did get to learn a lot of rules and regulations we have around surrogacy. Surrogacy is only the backdrop, not the main plot point. When she gets to know about surrogacy, that's also what the audience will get to know. It's an entertaining film about a girl who ends up becoming a surrogate mother. Honestly, it's not a film that preaches surrogacy. How did you unlearn your knowledge of surrogacy, and was there anything new about the process you learnt on the job? Mimi mines its humour from the awareness divide on the concept of surrogacy. Mimi is a chirpy, quirky character whose life turns around later. It helps you explore many more emotions than what you get to do in other films with less screen time. I feel like a role like this is liberating as an actor. You then take it up as a challenge, and realise the fact that someone has bet their money on you thinking that you'd be able to carry it on your shoulders. But there's a lot more responsibility when you're in every frame of the film. I look at every film as mine so there's no difference there. I love shooting with all my male co-actors. I don't think having a male lead is suffocating that you feel liberated without them (laughs). With due respect to your male co-stars, how liberating was it to shoot a film without the crutch of a male lead? It felt like the perfect film I'd like to lead as my first time. When I heard the one-liner of Mimi, I felt it had a lot of heart and soul, but is also very entertaining.

I was looking for something I could dig my teeth deeper into, something which was a little more intense but at the same time very entertaining. Having said that, I was craving to do a film like Mimi where I had a lot more to do, where I felt challenged as an actor. When he saw me perform that, he saw a lot more depth in me than what he's seen in the rest of the film. From what he's told me, Luka Chuppi is a very lighthearted film there's only one emotional scene in the film, on the terrace when she's feeling suffocated because she's lying to the family. I think that will be best answered by Laxman sir. What sparks did Laxman Utekar see in you while working on Luka Chuppi that he decided to cast you as the solo lead?

You have been playing the quintessential heroine since then but will finally be seen as the titular character in Mimi. You made your debut seven years ago with Heropanti.

In an exclusive interview, Sanon discusses the leap she has taken as an actor in Mimi, collaborating again with Luka Chuppi director Laxman Utekar, and returning to the small-town template after her breakthrough Bareilly Ki Barfi. Just that here, there is no partner and the lens is that of surrogacy. From the trailer, it seems like the story where a woman turns pregnant in the midst of an affair only to get abandoned by her partner who evades commitment. After appearing in over a dozen films since her debut in 2014, Kriti Sanon will be seen as the solo lead in Mimi, where she plays a Mandawa-based young woman averse to children, who agrees to be a surrogate mother but gets abandoned by the couple.
