Actress Swara Bhaskar says she is on a weight-loss spree for her role in the upcoming Veere Di Wedding (2017). At an event in Mumbai, Swara spoke about the project and said, "Hopefully, we will be on the floors with Veere Di Wedding in September. I am very excited. The preparations are on. I have been instructed to lose weight. So all my focus and effort is currently towards not having food."
Veere Di Wedding also stars her Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015) co-star Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shikha Talsania. The film is directed by Shashank Ghosh.
Kapoor Khan is expecting her first child, so is the team going to take extra care of her? Swara said, "I am sure we all will take care of her very well. We will feed her a lot of food, even whatever we can't eat."
When news of Kapoor Khan's pregnancy had emerged, there was uncertainty if she would still do the film. But producer Rhea Kapoor had clarified that Kapoor Khan, being a "thorough professional", would complete the film and that the team was proud to have her.
Speaking about the story, Swara said, "It is definitely a very empowering story, a very enjoyable story, a happy kind of story consisting of very empowered female characters."
The Nil Battey Sannata (2016) actress pointed out that the film won't be a sad affair and would focus on urban women. "It is not necessary that every story about women is a sad story, or about a dukhiyari or abla naari, bechaari [helpless] or her struggle. Women also have fun, they dance, party. So it is a really fun story; it looks at today's urban women and their real problems."
