The trailer of the movie "Double XL" has been released. It stars...

Double XL, a film directed by Satramm Ramani and written by Mudassar Aziz, will hit theatres on November 4. The story follows two plus-sized ladies as they navigate a culture that is prejudiced against women who are overweight.

A report quoted Huma saying in a statement, “It’s all about feeling confident and believing that one can look glamorous if one feels glamorous. Patriarchy and society conditions us into believing that a girl who weighs a certain weight is not beautiful or glamorous.”

She added, “It’s high time we do away with these notions. Also, I felt that since I was from an industry where glamour is an essential aspect of the profession, the message coming from me might help other girls who obsess over their weight, feel differently about themselves.”

Talking about the film earlier this year, Huma had told PTI that Double XL is an “important and entertaining film”. She added, “I really believe that social change happens through fun, commercial, and family entertainer films,” the actor had said.
