Mimi is the Hindi remake of the Marathi film Mala Aai Vhaaychya, which was directed by Samruddhi Porey. It won the National Award in the Best Feature Film category in 2011.
According to a report by India Today, Kriti Sanon said, “I am very excited. It’s based on the subject of surrogacy but actually, it’s the story of this young girl who wants to be an actor. She’s a dancer in Mandawa and she ends up being a surrogate for a couple. Then, the things that follow change her life and also change her as a person.”
