Kirti Kulhari, of Pink fame, has reportedly put on some weight for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Indu Sarkar.

“Kirti is very fit and was asked to put a little weight on, to look her part in the film,” reveals a source. “During the shoot, she enjoyed eating with no restrictions, but she still kept away from unhealthy snacking. Since she plays the role of a girl who stammers, Kirti even hired a coach for voice modulation, who helped the actress rehearse during the preparations for Indu Sarkar.”

Kirti will be seen essaying the role of a poet, who suffers from a speech impediment, in the movie. Indu Sarkar is reportedly based in the Emergency era, from 1975 to 1977, when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister.
