Ace Indian cricketer, Shikhar Dhawan, is the latest sportsman to have jumped into Bollywood with his first debut film Double XL along with Huma Qureshi and Sonakshi Sinha.
The gorgeous Huma Qureshi posted pictures of the stills from the film with the caption,
“Cat is out of the bag! Finally @shikhardofficial #DoubleXL”
The batsman can be seen looking dapper in a black suit with a bow tie smiling brightly with Huma Qureshi.
Dhawan claimed that he moved after hearing the plot of the film. Talking to Pinkvilla he said,
“As an athlete playing for the nation, life is always very hectic. One of my favorite pastimes is to watch good entertaining films. When this opportunity came to me and I heard the story, it made a deep impact on me. This is a lovely message for the whole society and I hope a lot of young girls and boys will keep pursuing their dreams no matter what.
Double XL is a ‘humorous and joyful whirlwind voyage into the hearts of two plus-size ladies’. It is about the journey of two plus-size women Rajshree Trivedi (Huma Qureshi) from Meerut and Saira Khanna (Sonakshi Sinha) from New Delhi as they deal with a culture that often equates a woman’s appeal or beauty with her size.
The film explores themes of women supporting one another and celebrating bodies without any disrespect.
Author Mudassar Aziz and director Satramm Ramani are responsible for the social comedy. The film is set to release on 4 November 2022.
Shikhar Dhawan is an Indian cricketer. He is a left-handed opening batsman for Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Delhi in first-class cricket. He occasionally captains the Indian national team.
